We celebrated Grandpa's 90th birthday and we couldn't have asked for a better destination. We loved it, thank you!
The Sutton family
The Best Birthday Party Venue in North Devon
A big birthday is a fantastic opportunity to gather friends and family and have a right rollicking knees up. 21? 40? 90? We've had them all at Ash Barton. Because, quite frankly we’re the best party venue in the area - no matter how old you are.
How you and your guests celebrate your birthday is up to you. Start the day with a dip in the pool then relax on our sunny patio with a glass of fizz in your hand. In the evening, party the night away in our big barn with over 200 guests and dance until the sun comes up. Or just enjoy a meal for 30 in our stunning dining room or old chapel. It’s completely up to you.
Choose the food and drink you love. Pick the music you want to hear. Decorate the venue exactly how you want it. This is your birthday. And you’re only this age once.
For a full list of recommended suppliers see below.
All you need to know about Ash Barton:
- Party capacity for 200 people
