Setting

Upton Barn & Walled Garden is a lovingly restored 17th-century Cider Barn, a transformed Stable, and a secret Walled Garden with breathtaking views over the Blackdown Hills. Situated in the heart of Devon’s countryside, the venue radiates warmth and charm, providing a stylish yet relaxed backdrop for an idyllic wedding.

Claire and Richard, the family-run owners of Upton Barn & Walled Garden, share their vision for couples seeking a welcoming venue where they can feel at home yet enjoy a VIP experience. Inspired by their own wedding memories at Upton, they are dedicated to helping couples create unforgettable celebrations of their own.

Ceremony

Registered for civil ceremonies, couples can choose to exchange vows beneath the beautifully hand-crafted oak arbour within the Walled Garden or inside The Cider Barn, which boasts romantic lighting, soaring oak trusses, and a polished concrete floor. Both locations create an intimate atmosphere for a memorable wedding ceremony.

Reception

The venue encompasses four beautifully restored spaces, blending traditional and contemporary architecture, accommodating up to 156 guests. The Stable Barn, with its dramatic full-height windows and elegant bespoke chandeliers, serves as a versatile space for a memorable wedding feast. Guests can unwind in The Press, a chic bar with soft seating and a wood-burning stove, or enjoy the adjacent Walled Garden. As evening falls, the gardens illuminate, providing a magical backdrop for guests to relax or dance the night away in The Cider Barn, creating a perfect ending to a special day.

Accommodation

The venue features charming overnight accommodation options, including The Stalls, a Scandi-styled pod accommodating up to eight guests, and two new luxurious spaces, The Bower and The Nest. These rustic retreats, designed with minimalist-luxe vibes, offer home-from-home comforts amidst nature.

Couples will automatically reserve these spaces for their wedding night, ensuring exclusivity at Upton Barn and providing a cosy sanctuary for selected guests.
