Ash Barton Estate. Braunton. North Devon

Camping & Glamping Wedding Venue in North Devon, UK

If you want all your guests to stay overnight at your wedding, choosing a glamping wedding venue like Ash Barton is perfect, as it means you get to carry on celebrating with all your friends and family the day after the ceremony too.   

Camping or glamping at your wedding 

Our wide expanse of flat lawn just beyond the main house, makes glamping or camping at your wedding easy. And it’s fun too. If you’re having a festival wedding, you can fully embrace the festival theme and have everyone camp in tents or yurts, and decorate the camping area with lights, flags and bunting. Unlike a real festival, everyone will be able to find their tent easily.

Camping in luxury

If your wedding guests are glamping or camping, they won’t be short of luxurious amenities and somewhere to plug their mobile phones. Our posh loos and showers block has luxury loos and showers (including disabled and baby changing facilities) and bags of hot water all day long.

While the drying room has plenty of space for getting ready and lots of sockets to plug in those hairdryers, tongs, shavers and much-loved phones. With all these amenities, it’s easy to see why we’re the one of the most loved glamping wedding venues in the UK.

The day after your glamping wedding

The best thing about a glamping wedding is the fact all your family and friends stay overnight at the venue and you get to carry on the celebrations the next day. When everyone’s been camping out overnight, a good hearty breakfast is called for. Our hens are always happy to supply fresh eggs. And there’s plenty of space in the kitchen to rustle up bacon butties for everyone.

With everyone staying over, why not make the day after your wedding a sports tournament? The games barn and the indoor swimming pool are popular destinations for all ages. And there’s plenty of space on the lawns for the kids to have a run around. For a full camping experience, finish off the day by toasting marshmallows and singing songs around the fire pit on the patio. Or hire a fish van for the evening and enjoy a glass of fizz and a fish and chip supper as the sun sets.

Looking for a camping wedding venue? You’ve come to the right place.

My trip with the media group could not be any better without staying at this very wonderful and beautiful estate. The location is spectacular, the rooms are exquisite and house is very well preserved. I would come back there any day.

One of the best times of my life. Spent a week here with college. The location and views are great, but the building and facilities on offer are incredible! I'm still lost for words when asked about how good the stay was at Ash Barton. I'd recommend it to anyone without a second thought!
