Outdoor Wedding Dreams at Hawke Barn

There’s something irresistibly romantic about exchanging vows beneath open skies, framed by the rolling hills of Devon. Nestled in peaceful countryside with far-reaching views across mile upon mile of meadow and moor, Hawke Barn feels like a serene escape far removed from the everyday. “At Hawke Barn, we believe your wedding should be more than a day – it should be an experience that blends freedom, beauty and unforgettable moments,” says wedding coordinator Kerrie Phillips.
 
One of the venue’s greatest charms is its choice of enchanting ceremony spaces. Say “I do” on the top lawn, where panoramic Devon vistas provide a picture-perfect backdrop; beside the lake, a peaceful waterside spot made for intimate vows and dreamy photography; or in the woodland clearing, a secluded, storybook scene beneath a canopy of trees.
 
Prefer to wed indoors? The historic barn is a gorgeous alternative. “With its rustic beams, warm stone walls and timeless character, our barn is perfect for cosy ceremonies – or as a beautiful back-up if the weather turns,” adds Kerrie.

The feasting is every bit as memorable as the setting, with menus celebrating the finest local flavours. Opt for Rustic Refreshments – think jugs of Pimm’s, bottles of fizz and Devon Red Cider chilling in vintage trugs for that quintessential countryside vibe. Or choose Traditional Treats, from Hawke Barn’s signature afternoon tea to hearty Devon pasties for an authentic taste of the South West.
If relaxed dining is more your vibe, Casual Dining Delights serves up wood-fired pizzas, smash burgers, hog roasts, street food, sharing platters, homemade ice creams, sweet carts and even chocolate fountains. And for a touch of refinement, Formal Dining Elegance offers two- or three-course menus or fine dining selections crafted with seasonal, locally sourced produce. Best of all, there’s no corkage charge for bringing your own table wine.
 
“Our bespoke packages are designed for flexibility and flair,” says Kerrie. Couples can enjoy a custom-built rustic bar at no extra hire cost, luxurious guest accommodation complete with hot tubs and stress-free planning with 0% interest repayment options. Then there’s the fun factor: meet the tame sheep, play croquet, try laser shooting, indulge in pamper sessions or even tour the horse-racing yard. What's more, the venue is now offering a complimentary third night for weekend wedding bookings.
