Why do we think Mythe Barn would be an awesome wedding venue?
The beautifully restored Mythe Barn is an incredible place to get married. It is a idyllic, rustic barn wedding venue set amidst the stunning Leicestershire countryside. With a choice of tying the knot under the oak beams of the barn itself or an outdoor garden wedding surrounded by rolling hills, meadows and of course the gardens, there are so many spots for photographs. All of this together makes it one of the finest wedding venues in Leicestershire.
