Unveiling a stunning new space at the Devon venue

Upton Barn & Walled Garden has it all: seriously scenic grounds, lovingly restored barns, a picturesque walled garden, luxe spaces to get ready and Scandi-style accommodation for an epic, extended wedding celebration in a secluded corner of Mid Devon.


 
Set amidst 160 acres of organic farmland with sweeping views across the Blackdown Hills, the multi-award-winning venue has long enchanted couples seeking a style-forward celebration in an away-from-it-all rural location.

Prepare for your day in the spa-like setting of The Paddock before taking to the lavender-lined aisle of the walled garden for romantic al fresco vows or saying ‘I do’ amid the rustic elegance of the Cider Barn. Take a wander around the lake before toasting your love in the Press Bar, hosting an unforgettable feast in the Stable Barn and partying the night away in the Cider Barn.


 
As if that wasn’t enticing enough, the venue has unveiled a seriously stunning new addition: The Foundry – a place for feasting, gathering and celebrating. Blending the rural charm of the Devonshire countryside with the venue’s modern-industrial aesthetic, this vibrant new setting is an atmospheric spot for fire-cooked feasts and rooftop drinks served with far-reaching countryside views.


 
Whatever the season, The Foundry offers a stylish and scenic backdrop for celebrations. Retractable glass walls allow festivities to flow seamlessly from indoors to out, flooding the room with natural light while creating an open-air feel whatever the weather. In summer, the rooftop terrace is the ideal spot for sundowners beneath endless skies, while in winter the space becomes an intimate retreat for cosy feasts and fireside gatherings. A live-fire kitchen takes centre stage, from theatrical open-fire cooking to relaxed late-night bites from the custom-built Bushman pizza oven.


 
Couples may choose to host rooftop drinks, serve evening food from the fire kitchen or even plan a relaxed twilight wedding – making even more cherished memories in this swoon-worthy venue.
