Upton Barn & Walled Garden

Located within the rolling Devon countryside near Cullompton, Upton Barn & Walled Garden is one of the South West’s leading luxury barn venues, combining beautifully restored historic barns, landscaped gardens and contemporary event styling within an exclusive-use rural estate. Originally part of a traditional working farm, the venue has been transformed into a highly polished countryside destination renowned for weddings, private celebrations and premium hospitality-led events. 

Blending rustic heritage architecture with elegant modern finishes, the venue offers a collection of interconnected event spaces centred around its award-winning walled garden and dramatic barn interiors. Unlike more traditional rustic barns, Upton Barn delivers a far more refined and design-led atmosphere, creating events that feel contemporary, luxurious and highly curated whilst still retaining countryside character. 

Positioned within easy reach of Exeter, the M5 and Exeter Airport, the venue combines countryside exclusivity with strong regional accessibility.

Event Spaces

The Cider Barn

At the heart of the venue is the spectacular Cider Barn, a beautifully restored event space featuring exposed beams, contemporary lighting, large glazed openings and direct access to the surrounding gardens. The barn is designed for receptions, seated dining, ceremonies and evening celebrations, offering a seamless indoor-outdoor flow throughout events. 

The Stable Barn

The Stable Barn provides an additional ceremony and reception space with underfloor heating, contemporary finishes and flexible layouts suited to ceremonies, networking receptions and breakout areas. The space complements the larger Cider Barn whilst allowing flexibility for multi-stage events. 

The Walled Garden

One of the venue’s defining features is its beautifully landscaped Walled Garden, creating an exceptional setting for outdoor ceremonies, drinks receptions, lawn games and summer hospitality events. The garden acts as the visual centrepiece of the venue and significantly enhances the overall guest experience. 

Luxury Countryside Events

Whilst primarily known for weddings, the venue also lends itself well to luxury private dining, leadership retreats, networking events and exclusive-use celebrations where atmosphere, design and guest experience are central priorities. 

Sustainability & Restoration

The restoration of Upton Barn focused heavily on preserving the original Devon farm buildings whilst integrating contemporary environmental and energy-efficient systems throughout the venue. Natural materials, adaptive reuse and landscape conservation form a major part of the estate’s long-term operational philosophy.
