Shustoke Farm Barns 5.13

The Barns are just east of Coleshill and about 20 minutes from the centres of Birmingham and Coventry. They are red brick, 18th-Century buildings and wonderfully tall and dramatic inside, and they surround a lovely courtyard.

Inside the Barns there are flagstone floors, lots of beautiful oak, a civil ceremony area licensed for 189 people which also seats up to 140 to eat, an upstairs drinks area, a copper-topped bar and a view of the giant rotisserie through a large glass panel into the kitchen. There are remote control lights to spotlight tables, colour-changing LED uplighters for the dancing stage of the evening, and nightlights, fairy lights and church candles.

Outside there is a courtyard with 5 ancient olive trees and an open shed with an outside kitchen where we can cook 6 whole lambs, barbecue anything, or make pizzas.
