The Gallery is an event and wedding venue nestled into the Cotswold countryside. It consists of the renovation of an existing barn and stable and the construction of an innovative new 120 seat reception venue. It is designed to offer a balance between traditional and contemporary architecture with a sweeping rooftop garden that links the existing Cotswold stone structures with the surrounding landscape. The main reception venue is hidden behind the new courtyard wall and is revealed through a sliding barn door. As you enter this space you are greeted by a striking modern design with floor to ceiling glazing which reveals views over the valley beyond. The overhanging timber roof and decking provides a shaded terrace for drinks whilst further investigation of the site reveals the entrance to a hidden rooftop garden planted with native wildflowers, a perfect place to explore and enjoy the views of the countryside beyond.
