Shustoke Farm Barns - Cripps & Co

Shustoke Farm Barns occupies an eighteenth-century red brick barn in Coleshill, Warwickshire, positioned 20 minutes from Birmingham and Coventry city centres. Cripps & Co transformed the barn into an event facility. The main space features an elevated timber ceiling over flagstone floors, substantial oak beams and glass details throughout. A gallery overlooks a copper-topped bar and open courtyard. An open kitchen with grill, rotisserie and pizza oven allows guests to watch chefs during meal preparation, creating an interactive dining approach. A state-of-the-art lighting system accommodates various moods—fairy lights and candlelight for ceremony, spotlighting for dinner tables, and colour-changing LEDs for evening dancing. The expansive gothic-arched timber and glass doors open from the barn toward a courtyard featuring ancient olive trees and glowing fire pits. The facility can be transformed across different elements of the day—ceremony, dining and dancing—within the same barn space. For couples attracted to an interactive kitchen approach and barn architecture combined with ambient lighting flexibility, this provides an alternative to traditional hotel or country-house venues.
