About
Setting

Set in the beautiful Exe Valley, along a hedge-lined drive and past a picturesque pond and gardens, you will arrive at this stunning barn. It features solid wood beams and black steel frames and is spacious, seating up to 140 for a wedding breakfast. It also features a glazed bar leading to a terrace overlooking the paddock and rolling hills of the Devon countryside.

Located in the historic village of Bickleigh between Exeter and Tiverton, it is easily accessible but a hidden gem.

Ceremony

Up to 100 guests can join you outside in the beautiful, Mediterranean-style courtyard draped in honeysuckle and jasmine during the spring and summer months and vibrant autumnal colours during September and October. If you would prefer an indoor ceremony, the gallery provides an intimate and rustic space to say ‘I do’!

Reception

Up to 140 guests can be seated in the Main Barn. There are multiple options for table layouts – banquet, individual or square-style set-ups, and it is entirely up to you how you would like to decorate. Many themes have been displayed, from botanical greenery to natural pampas, from bold and bright spring colours to luxurious navy and gold themes. You can choose your catering whether you would prefer two or three-course plated formal dining, sharing feasting platters, grazing tables, pizza buffets or a hog roast.

Accommodation

There is a honeymoon suite for the newlyweds which can also be used for getting ready. Guests can be accommodated in three luxury, award-winning glamping tents, sleeping up to 18. Other accommodation options are within walking distance and even more < than a 10-minute drive.

Food & Drink

Drinks are supplied via the in-house bar. Caterers are external, and there is a list of catering contacts, or you can choose your own.

Local Area

Bickleigh village has a church, pub with accommodation, and Mill (open for food and shopping) within walking distance. The market town of Tiverton is less than a 10-minute drive and has two hotels and supermarkets. The city of Exeter is a 25-minute drive and has multiple tourist attractions and various accommodation options.

Getting There
  • Situated just off the A396 between Exeter and Tiverton in Mid-Devon and 25 minutes from J27 of the M5.
  • There are good transport links to Tiverton Parkway or Exeter St David’s train station and 30 minutes from Exeter airport.

From the moment we set foot on the property, we were blown away – the ceremony area was simply breathtaking, providing a picturesque backdrop and the inside of the barn was equally as beautiful, with its rustic charm and elegant touches. But what truly made our experience at Valleyside Barn exceptional were the lovely owners. They were incredibly welcoming and accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was nothing short of perfection. We can’t express enough how grateful we are for their outstanding hospitality and dedication. Valleyside Barn will forever hold a special place in our hearts as the place where our dream wedding came to life.

We were blown away by the style, warmth and beautiful setting of the barn. Wedding planning was made so simple by the efficiency of how Valleyside Barn is run and the flexibility to add our personal touch to make the day our own. All the staff on the day really cared to ensure our wedding was exactly how we imagined it to be. An added bonus is the on-site accommodation which brought a lot of fun to us and our guests for the whole weekend! We truly could not have asked for a better wedding venue or service and will be forever grateful to Emma and Matt for making our wedding more than we could have ever wished for.

We couldn’t have asked for a more magical experience. From the moment we stepped onto the picturesque property, we knew we had found the perfect wedding venue.

The natural beauty of Valleyside Barn is truly something out of a fairy tale. The lush greenery, the charming rustic barn, and the breathtaking views of the surrounding valley created an enchanting backdrop for our ceremony and reception. Our guests were in awe of the stunning location, and many commented that it was the most beautiful wedding venue they had ever seen.

However, what truly sets Valleyside Barn apart is the exceptional team behind it. Emma and Matt, from the very beginning of our wedding planning journey, were by our side, guiding us and turning our visions into reality. Their attention to detail and genuine care for making our day perfect was evident in every interaction we had with them.

Emma’s creativity and knack for understanding exactly what we wanted made the planning process smooth and enjoyable. She took the time to listen to our ideas and offered insightful suggestions that elevated every aspect of the event. Her organizational skills are truly commendable – no detail was too small for her to handle, and she made sure everything ran like clockwork.

Matt, with his calm demeanour, managed the logistical and practical aspects flawlessly. His expertise ensured that everything from seating arrangements to sound setup was executed seamlessly.

On the day itself, we were able to relax and enjoy every moment, knowing that Emma and Matt had everything under control.

Our wedding day was a dream come true, and we will forever cherish the memories created at Valleyside Barn.

We’re absolutely thrilled we chose to have our summer wedding at Valleyside Barn: beautiful location, brilliant hosts and excellent facilities. Everyone remarked on how splendid, green and peaceful the surroundings were – and then furnished it with everything you’d want for a wedding. Emma and Matt were such wonderful hosts and did everything they could to make it a perfect day for us – we can’t thank them enough, we had the best day ever – no stress, just huge fun!

We literally could not be happier with our choice of venue. The barn, outdoor courtyard and grounds are stunning! The owners, Matt and Emma are so friendly, helpful and accommodating. From the moment we booked Valleyside Barn, we knew we were in very capable hands. Emma was super efficient and was always on hand to answer any queries and to provide recommendations all the way from booking up to the day itself. Prior to the wedding (and after), Matt was always around, ensuring that the venue was in impeccable condition inside and out.

We were blessed with beautiful weather and got married in their outdoor courtyard which is just so pretty, but there is the bonus that they have a few areas where you can get married depending on your preference and weather.

We had the added pressures of getting married and planning a wedding with a small baby and two dogs. Emma and Matt went above and beyond to make everything as easy as possible. Emma ensured the honeymoon suite was ready for us all and even provided a travel cot, highchair, bouncer, activity mat, baby bath and dog bowls! Also, at the end of the evening, some of our guests and children also couldn’t get a taxi at the end of the night, so Matt made several trips to their accommodation to make sure they all got back safe! We literally couldn’t have asked for more.

On the day itself, everything went so smoothly, thanks to Emma and Matt. They made the whole day flow seamlessly, such as moving from the ceremony area to the main barn and setting up for the evening – it wasn’t even noticeable. The only downside we have is that it’s now over, but we are planning on returning to stay in their glamping safari tents!
