Where Every Bride Can Feel Like a Princess
Nestled in the heart of Devon's magical countryside, The Great Barn Devon is a magnificent piece of history, perfect as your Devon wedding venue and unique as a memorable, contemporary wedding venue in the South West. Our stunning 15th-century barn is a magnificent space, boasting ceilings that soar above 7 metres high and walls that stretch 23 metres long. This idyllic setting provides an unforgettable backdrop for your special day, offering a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere that is hard to find elsewhere.
The Great Barn: A Breathtakingly Beautiful Space
The Great Barn is aptly named because at 23 metres long and 7 metres wide, it is, in essence, one breathtakingly beautiful enormous space. Seating over 160 guests at round tables and around 190 guests at trestles, there are very few wedding venues in Devon which have this kind of capacity without having to go the huge trouble and expense of putting up a marquee. It also means your party will never be split, everyone will be in the same space from the start to the end of your day. Attached to the Barn is the Roundhouse, which works well as a bar area, perfect also for serving coffee or evening food or a children's room.
The West Barn: A Fresh and Bright Space
A few steps away from The Great Barn, on the opposite side of the courtyard, is the newly refurbished West Barn. Perfect for wet weather cover if your guests are unable to use the garden for drinks, and jolly useful for coffee, children's entertainers or just for those who would like to chill and chat. The same team who restored the Barn have transformed this former farm building into a fresh, bright space. With its lime-washed beams, plastered walls and limestone floor, it retains much of its 16th-century charm, but with a contemporary nod.
