Roundhill Barn, Kelston is the perfect place for memorable celebration with family, friends or colleagues. The setting is spectacular, the barn is beautiful and it has the essential equipment you need for a successful event. You get to do it your own way: hire in your own caterers and other services if you want, or do it all yourself. We can offer suggestions but there's no requirement to use tied contractors and no hidden fees for corkage or supplies.
The courtyard in front of the barn is 320 sq m. For large events the courtyard and a level grassed area above the barn can be covered with marquees.
Internal floor space is 87m², and the courtyard 360m² (see floorplan). Capacity inside the barn is 120 (or more with custom marquees).
Flexible seating arrangements can be offered from formal seated dining for up to 80 guests to parties of 200 with the addition of an external marquee.
There is a camping area with 12 levelled 5m diameter sites and one 12m diameter site. You can put more tents on slightly sloping ground.
Inside, there's an uncluttered open space with underfloor heating and two woodburners, a domestic kitchen, two toilets, a shower and a side-room.
Outside, there is a grassed area for games, picnics or pitching larger marquee. There’s an outdoor dining table which seats 12 with superb views.
