Great Barn is an historic building in the English village of Hoghton, Lancashire. Built in 1692, and constructed using the local sandstone grit, it is now a Grade I listed building. It stands just west of Hoghton Tower.

The building is eleven bays long. One end was lofted when it was used as a milking parlour and the walls at the other end were reinforced with railway sleepers for its last agricultural use as a silage clamp.

Wedding Venue

In 2021, planning permission was approved by Chorley Borough Council to convert the 17th century barn into a wedding venue. The planning application included repairs to the structure and conversion of nearby buildings into other uses such as shops.

Historic England supported the application, saying that it will secure the long-term future of the buildings.
