Boscoppa Farm

A giant tipi on a hilltop overlooking the Cornish coast isn’t something you come across every day.

Set on a family-run farm just ten minutes from the Eden Project, Boscoppa Farm combines open countryside with far-reaching views across Carlyon Bay. The three-hat giant tipi sits at the highest point of the land, giving couples and guests a changing backdrop of fields, coastline and big Cornish skies throughout the celebrations.

What makes the venue particularly special is its exclusive five-day hire. Instead of arriving, marrying and leaving within a matter of hours, couples have time to settle in, decorate the space, host gatherings before the wedding and enjoy the days that follow. The result feels less like a traditional wedding day and more like a weekend spent with the people who matter most.

Boscoppa Farm gives couples the freedom to create a ceremony that feels entirely their own.

As the venue is not licensed for legal marriages, the formal paperwork takes place separately, leaving the wedding ceremony itself free from restrictions. Some couples choose a celebrant, while others invite a family member or close friend to lead the occasion.

Ceremonies can take place outdoors, with views stretching across the countryside towards the sea, or beneath the canvas of the giant tipi if the weather has other plans. Both options keep guests together in the heart of the venue, with no need to move between different spaces during the day.

The focus here is less on formalities and more on creating a ceremony that feels personal, relaxed and meaningful.

The giant tipi becomes the centre of the celebrations from the moment guests gather for drinks through to the final song of the evening.

Seating up to 150 guests, the space is flexible enough to suit everything from long communal feasts to lively evening parties. Timber poles, festoon lighting, and seasonal flowers bring character to the interior, while the open sides make the most of views across the farm and the coastline beyond.

Outside, guests spill onto the grass to catch up over drinks, watch the sunset or gather around the fire pits later in the evening. With no immediate neighbours and plenty of space to spread out, the atmosphere remains relaxed from start to finish.

As darkness falls, the tipi takes on a different energy, becoming a warm and welcoming setting for dining, dancing and celebrating late into the night.

One of the advantages of a wedding at Boscoppa Farm is that guests don’t need to leave when the music ends.

Accommodation is located in an adjoining field just a short walk from the tipi, helping to create the sociable feel of a shared wedding weekend. Guests can choose between furnished bell tents, emperor tents, and characterful barrel cabins, while those bringing campervans or their own tents can use the grass pitches on site.

A dedicated shower and toilet block with hot water serves the accommodation area, ensuring guests have everything they need during their stay.

With space for up to 30 guests in the furnished accommodation, plus additional camping options, friends and family can stay close to the celebrations and make the most of their time together.

You’re welcome to choose your own caterers or work with one of the venue’s recommended suppliers. Whether that’s sharing platters, barbecue feasts, self-service dining or a more formal menu, the format is entirely up to you.

The same freedom extends to drinks. Alongside the on-site bar, couples can supply their own alcohol for the team to serve throughout the day and evening.

This flexibility gives couples the opportunity to create a wedding that feels personal rather than packaged, with food and drink reflecting the atmosphere they want to create for their guests.

The venue’s sustainability approach begins with how weddings are hosted on the site.

The giant tipis are temporary structures that allow celebrations to take place without permanently altering the farm’s landscape. Throughout the venue, efforts are made to minimise waste, encourage recycling and reduce reliance on single-use plastics wherever possible.

Boscoppa Farm also works with local suppliers and seasonal produce where available, helping to support businesses within the surrounding area while reducing unnecessary transport.

Couples are encouraged to make environmentally conscious choices throughout their planning, creating celebrations that are both thoughtful and memorable.

For guests travelling to Cornwall, Boscoppa Farm is well placed for extending the celebrations into a longer stay.

The Eden Project is less than ten minutes away, while Knightor Winery offers vineyard tours and tastings nearby. Three beaches can be reached within fifteen minutes of the venue, making early morning swims, coastal walks and relaxed afternoons by the sea easy additions to a wedding weekend.

The Lost Gardens of Heligan are also within easy reach, along with a collection of fishing villages, independent shops, restaurants and cafés scattered along this stretch of coastline.

Whether guests arrive for a single night or stay for several days, there is plenty to explore beyond the wedding itself.

Boscoppa Farm enjoys a convenient location just off the A30, making it straightforward to reach from across Cornwall and the wider UK.

The nearest railway station is approximately 10 minutes away by car, while Newquay Airport is approximately 30 minutes away. Local taxi services are readily available, and the venue can recommend trusted providers for guest transport.

The final stretch of the journey offers a glimpse of what’s to come. Guests cross a bridge with views towards the coast before following a tree-lined track through the farm. As the road climbs towards the venue, the landscape gradually opens up, revealing the sea views that define Boscoppa Farm.
