about the barn

Set in a beautifully renovated and restored 100-year old barn overlooking rolling hills of conservation land, the Barn at Gibbet Hill is one of New England’s most unique venues for weddings and special events.  Located at the foot of Gibbet Hill, just beyond the picturesque Main Street of Groton, the Barn offers rustic elegance with unparalleled views.

weddings and private events

The first wedding at The Barn at Gibbet Hill took place in 2002 when Jed and Asia’s fantastic outdoor wedding plans got rained out. Back then the Barn was completely unrenovated – hay bales were moved to the edge of the room and the tractor had to be parked outside so a makeshift wedding aisle could be made. After witnessing the undeniable magic of that day, the idea to transform the Barn into a permanent wedding venue began to take hold. Two years later, after a massive renovation of the Barn was completed, The Barn at Gibbet Hill officially opened for business. And two years after that, CBS-4 crowned the Barn at Gibbet Hill the best wedding venue in the Boston Area! The Barn can hold up to 224 people with a dance floor. There is an outside, heated deck with a permanent roof over it that is used for cocktail receptions.

TOP OF THE HILL

For couples whose weddings fall between mid-June and mid-October, we offer the option of having your ceremony at the top of Gibbet Hill. This is an exclusive ceremony location, limited to 4 per year. Your guests will be driven to the top of the hill in SUVs and your ceremony will be set in the ivy-covered ruins of Bancroft’s castle. Grassy fields overlooking the town and beyond are available for your photographs and guests’ exploration.
