The Red Barn
Not many people realize that the Red Barn, like the Yurt, originated as a student project. In Spring 1971 (the first year the College was open) a group of students with professor Norton Juster undertook the design for the renovation of the Red Barn. This Humanities and Arts course (HA175) surveyed the site and existing structure, conducted a survey of the Hampshire community to determine its preferences for use of the building, and made plans for its renovation.
Events and Weddings
Rustic, quaint, and full of charm, the Red Barn at Hampshire College is an elegant and unique venue for meetings and special events of all kinds.
While the barn is host to a variety of College-sponsored events throughout the school year, it is also available to non-College guests to use for a variety of events, including bar mitzvahs, birthday celebrations, memorial ceremonies, retirement parties, baby and bridal showers, wedding ceremonies and receptions, corporate meetings and events, holiday celebrations, and much more.
Our experienced and helpful event services staff assist clients in coordinating all details associated with events at the Red Barn and provide a high-level of customer service.
We invite you to schedule a tour of the barn and inquire about available dates for your next special occasion.
