The newest and most exciting events space in the South West has officially opened its doors. The Dovecote at The Methuen Arms in Corsham, Wiltshire, will welcome guests from today, offering a truly unique place to celebrate, exhibit, meet and come together in style.
Set within the grounds of the award‑winning Butcombe Boutique Inn, The Dovecote has been completely transformed into a breathtaking double‑height, vaulted barn accommodating 50 – 70 guests. Retaining many of its original features, the space blends rustic charm with modern elegance, creating a warm, atmospheric backdrop for private dinners, corporate gatherings, community events, milestone celebrations and weddings. Exposed brick walls, oak beams, dramatic pendant lighting and trailing greenery frame the barn, while a beautifully natural palette ensures every event feels elevated and stylish.
The venue is fully self‑contained, with its own bar, standalone kitchen and dedicated food‑prep area, allowing the Methuen Arms’ head chef and kitchen team to craft exceptional feasts tailored to each occasion. Guests can also take advantage of 19 boutique bedrooms, beautiful gardens and onsite parking, making The Methuen Arms an ideal all‑day, all‑evening destination.
Sam Priest, General Manager of The Methuen Arms, said: “The Dovecote is a truly special addition to our inn. We wanted to create a space that feels both characterful and contemporary, somewhere people can gather, celebrate and make memories from morning through to night. Seeing the barn restored so beautifully and ready to host unforgettable moments is incredibly exciting for our team and for the community.”
Situated in the historic market town of Corsham and surrounded by the rolling Wiltshire countryside, The Dovecote is now open for bookings and ready to welcome private celebrations, community events, corporate events, seasonal gatherings, weddings and civil ceremonies throughout the year.
