Facts and Figures
Technical Aspects
✻
The Mission of the Travelling Barn has been to revive, revitalise and popularise heritage Timber Framing skills and ancient building techniques, and to adapt it to the temporary structure arena. We have sought to bring the timeless integrity of traditional timber framing into the visual vernacular of the Festival scene - one so dominated with aluminium, plastic, scaffold and ply.
01.
The Size
The whole structure is 20.2m long and 14.4m wide, with a stage section at the back giving you 290 square metres (3,400 square feet) of covered space. An total area of ground 24m by 18m is required including guy ropes.
02.
Materials
The structure is of English Douglas Fir with curved oak braces in the cross frames. The Canvas is manufactured in Poly Cotton which has aged beautifully in the sun into a cream colour.
03.
Capacity
The Barn can comfortably accommodate 250 seated and 600 standing.
The Barn has a Stage Section that can fit a 16' x 16' Stage, under the specially designed "Hip Roof".
The Isles are 3.5 Meters wide allowing for a full length bar.
04.
Permanence
We have brought traditional timber framing technology to a modern and innovative design. All the peg holes are the standard three quarter inches meaning that in many years’ time when the structure is decommissioned, the timber frame can be recycled and re-used as a permanent structure with oak pegs. The through-tenons on the tie beams are secured with oak wedges.

The Travelling Stage
✻
New from The Travelling Barn Company comes The Travelling Stage!
We have designed and built a Timber Framed Stage - perfect for bandstands and medium sized festival stages.
✻
Pricings
✻
Minimum hire price of The Travelling Barn for 1 - 3 days is £6000, inclusive of haulage, travel and labour, to anywhere in the mainland UK.
This is significantly more than hire of traditional marquees since the Barn is effectively a temporary building, rather than a tent.

The Travelling Barn set up for a wedding in Oxfordshire in 2014
Our crew were able to help the couple by laying a solid wooden floor throughout the structure, and by carpeting it. We used a roll of calico to line the inside of the barn, bunching it up into ruffles at the opening.
The bride and groom had a florist decorate the timbers with plaited ivy, which looked splendid.
