Situated at Bo Peep Farm, a few miles from Banbury, Dovecote Events is home to Dovecote Barn, a Grade II-listed barn wedding venue that dates back to the 18th century and still holds much of its original charm and beauty. Licensed for civil weddings ceremonies, it makes for a beautiful setting. Say your vows surrounded by the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside and underneath original oak beams, or outside in The Paddock. Then enjoy alfresco drinks and canapés amongst Dovecote Barn's walled gardens before the afternoon and evening celebrations.
