UPTON BARN & WALLED GARDEN, CULLOMPTON This award-winning, family-run wedding venue nestled in the heart of the rolling Devonshire countryside within a 160-acre organic farm offers a relaxed and exclusive-use setting with a strong focus on style, service and sustainability. The stunning grounds are home to a picturesque lake, formal lawns and the romantic Walled Garden boasting unrivalled views across the Blackdown Hills with a lavender-lined aisle and a hand-crafted glazed oak arbour. Indoor ceremony and reception options include the traditional Cider Barn or the Stable Barn, both with space for up to 156 guests. The Press Bar is a great spot for guests to mingle over a gin and tonic or a locally produced cider (Sandford Orchard’s award-winning Devon Red is a must-try) and couples can opt for a free bar or a pay bar. For a spa-worthy space to get ready in on the morning of the wedding, The Paddock offers showers, fluffy towels and glamorous getting-ready stations where the hair and make-up artists can work from. Recent additions to the venue are two pods - The Bower and The Nest. These new spaces are designed to elevate the wedding experience. Made for the newlyweds, The Bower is a honeymoon hideaway. Offering a romantic retreat, couples can expect a sumptuously inviting bed, a standalone bath boasting countryside views and a spacious walk-in shower finished to perfection with luxe gold accents - it’s the perfect space to unwind after a wedding day! Family-friendly pod The Nest spans two storeys, sleeping up to four guests. Featuring a mini kitchenette for added convenience, this stylish sanctuary is made for loved ones to cosy up and relax in comfort. The Stalls are the Scandi-style overnight accommodation pods providing the perfect blend of clean lines, minimalist vibes and homefrom-home comforts. With space for up to eight people, guests can relax and unwind in a tranquil woodland glade – it really is the ultimate rustic retreat. Once the party is over, a cosy, Hygge-inspired pod awaits. www.uptonbarn.com www.instagram.com/uptonbarnandwalledgarden www.facebook.com/uptonbarn Images courtesy of www.yetiphotography.co.uk 22
