The Village Barn

The Village Barn is a family-run wedding and events venue in Tyrrellspass, County Westmeath, offering a collection of distinct spaces for couples and their guests. Its restored barn is the main reception room, suited to dining, speeches and an evening of music and dancing. For ceremonies, couples can use the on-site Sanctuary or arrange an outdoor ceremony in the gardens. The Orangery provides a separate setting for drinks and canapés, while the courtyard and landscaped grounds offer places to relax and take photographs.

The venue is offered exclusively for weddings, so couples and their guests can enjoy the Barn, Orangery, Sanctuary and grounds without another private event taking place at the same time. Willie’s Bar, situated separately on the main street, is available for a pre-ceremony drink. A private Ready Room gives the wedding party a place to prepare on the day, and the venue can discuss arrangements for celebrations of different sizes.

Food is prepared on site, with menus built around freshly made dishes and locally sourced ingredients. The team works with couples on menu choices and dietary requirements, and can provide options such as canapés, dinner and evening bites. The Orangery and Barn have PA systems and microphones for speeches and background music. The venue is wheelchair accessible, with an accessible toilet beside the main Barn. Accommodation is available through separately managed nearby properties, and the team can point guests towards other local places to stay. The Village Barn is also presented as a setting for events beyond weddings, making its range of indoor and outdoor spaces relevant to organisers seeking a distinctive location in the Irish Midlands.
