The Village Barn – A Truly Unique Wedding Venue in Tyrrellspass
Tucked away in the charming village of Tyrrellspass, Co. Westmeath, The Village Barn is a rustic yet elegant wedding venue full of warmth, personality, and unforgettable character. Right in the heart of Ireland’s midlands, this hidden gem offers couples a magical backdrop for their special day, blending tradition, comfort, and a touch of the unexpected.
From the outside, it may look like a quaint country pub, but step through the doors and you’ll discover one of Ireland’s most enchanting wedding settings—perfect for couples who want something relaxed yet extraordinary.
Conveniently located just over an hour from both Dublin and Galway, with easy access from the M6, The Village Barn is as accessible as it is stunning. With space to accommodate up to 180 guests and plenty of quirky accommodation options nearby, it’s the ideal spot for an unforgettable celebration. Our experienced wedding team works closely with each couple to bring their dream wedding to life.
Willie’s Bar is the heart of the venue—a cosy, traditional Irish pub brimming with character. With its original stone walls, open fire, snug corners, and shelves lined with history, this warm and welcoming space has been the setting for countless celebrations over the years. A creamy pint of Guinness here is second to none, and our much-loved barman Junior is always ready with a friendly chat, a whiskey recommendation, and perhaps even some wise words.
It’s the perfect place for your guests to relax with a pre-ceremony drink, catch up, and soak in the atmosphere before the main event begins.
For the all-important “I do’s,” The Sanctuary provides a breathtaking setting. Reached by a tree-lined walkway, this intimate ceremony space has the feel of a traditional chapel, complete with ornate pews, stained-glass windows, and beautiful natural light all year round.
Licensed for civil ceremonies, blessings, and partnerships, The Sanctuary is fully equipped with a PA system, giving couples complete freedom to choose their music. Whether it’s a soloist or a small group, the space creates an unforgettable backdrop for a deeply personal and meaningful ceremony.
After the vows, celebrations continue in The Orangery—a charming spot for pre-dinner drinks and canapés. With exposed stone walls, a roaring fire in winter, and a sunlit patio for summer evenings, it strikes the perfect balance of rustic charm and comfort. The space flows seamlessly between indoors and outdoors, allowing your guests to mingle, relax, and take in the scenic countryside views.
Our beautifully kept courtyard and gardens provide a stunning backdrop for photographs in every season. Filled with native plants and wildflowers, they not only enhance the venue’s natural beauty but also support local wildlife—especially the bees in summer! Whether it’s spring blossoms, autumn colours, or winter evergreens, the gardens always add an extra touch of magic to your wedding day.
The Barn is the showpiece of the venue and where the celebrations truly come to life. Restored in 2013, it combines old-world charm with modern design. With its soaring ceilings, reclaimed wooden tables, mismatched chairs, chandeliers, and quirky décor, it radiates character and style.
Inside, you’ll find a large dance floor, stage, PA system, and fully stocked bar—everything you need for an incredible night of food, music, and laughter. The Barn has a warm, inviting atmosphere that encourages guests to celebrate, dance, and create memories that last a lifetime.
Food is at the heart of every celebration here. We take pride in serving dishes made from the finest locally sourced ingredients. With over 25 years of catering experience, our owner David has built a menu that reflects both quality and creativity.
In true Village Barn style, meals are served “family-style,” encouraging guests to share, chat, and enjoy the experience together. And yes—the rumours are true—our homemade ice cream is legendary!
What makes The Village Barn truly special is our people. Our dedicated team is passionate about what we do and committed to making every wedding personal, relaxed, and memorable. From your very first enquiry right through to your wedding day, we’ll be there to guide, support, and celebrate with you.
When you choose The Village Barn, you don’t just book a venue—you become part of our family. And we promise to give you and your guests a day to remember.
