Gorgeous oak beams, rustic stone walls and a vine-clad conservatory offer a stunning blank canvas…. and as evening falls a private dodgems session will delight your guests and really get the party started! Our charming and totally unique DIY wedding venue blends character with fun, giving you the freedom to create a day that’s entirely your own – whether you’re aiming for a rustic, bohemian, classic or vintage style.

Located near the beautiful fishing village of Clovelly in North Devon we’re a family-owned barn reception and wedding venue with exciting contrasts. Set in beautiful countryside and within sight of the stunning coast, our renovated barn is vintagerustic and perfect for both small and large celebrations.

As The Old Barn is a flexible DIY wedding venue, couples have the freedom to put together the wedding day that’s just what they hoped for – you can choose your own caterers and even do the finishing touches yourself if you’re feeling creative. Our beautiful conservatory, which for much of the year is covered in grape vines, is licensed for weddings and civil ceremonies, and though we have room for over 100 people, small weddings work well here too. Added to this we can offer you and your guests a wedding reception with a totally unexpected after-party surprise that’ll ensure it’s remembered by all for many years to come … and some unique photo opportunities.

Take a look at some real wedding stories from happy couples who chose us as the venue for their special North Devon wedding … Sarah and Chris‘ wedding was relaxed and fun, and made even more special by the fact that they could steal away to Clovelly for an hour or so to get some fabulous photos. Kiera and Rob loved the fact that they could get married, eat, dance, sit outside and go on bumper cars, all at the same venue, making it perfect for the relaxed, fun day that they dreamed of. Steph and Dave‘s autumnal wedding had a real boho autumn feel with warm colours, dried flowers and soft lighting …  and was full of love. See more pictures of happy couples celebrating at The Old Barn – and find out why we’re a great venue for same sex couples too.

Please get in touch if you’d like to come and visit us, or talk through choosing The Old Barn for your big day.
