THAME Barns Centre is a flexible, affordable venue in the beautiful market town of Thame, suitable for both Private and Commercial functions. The peaceful, bright atmosphere of this converted historic building lends itself to creative thinking and planning for the Business client, and yet provides the welcoming ambience vital to help make any wedding, anniversary or children’s party a success. Car parking for up to 25 vehicles is available at the centre, but we are only a short stroll from main car parks in the town.
