Originally part of a Benedictine Priory, the 14th Century Tithe Barn is nestled in the heart of one of the most perfectly preserved medieval villages in the country. Neighbouring to the west are the Dovecote, the Memorial Gardens and St George’s Church (with the longest rood screen in the country). To the south, overlooking the adjoining Gardens and Linhay, are the towers and battlements of Dunster Castle. Conygar Tower looms to one side of the Tithe Barn’s private car park, whilst on the other, there are sweeping views across the Bristol Channel towards the Quantocks. On a clear day you might also see the steam trains of the West Somerset Railway running across the flat land between the village and Dunster Beach.

The original barn has been refurbished to a high standard with large and small event spaces, a bar area and a full catering kitchen.

The barn is home to many local groups and activities throughout the week and often hosts open events (such as the popular Antiques Fair) at weekends. It is also available for private hire for conferences, parties and celebrations of all kinds and is a wonderful venue for weddings.

Although not usually open to the public, if you would like to view the Tithe Barn and to discuss whether it could be the place you are looking for to host an event, please see our ‘contact us’ page for ways of getting in touch.
