Are you looking for a unique and flexible venue that is secluded yet accessible? One that offers couples free choice of suppliers. A gorgeous woodland setting with wildflower-splattered meadows and memorable ceremony, reception and party spaces? All the facilities and accommodation are included in your exclusive-use venue hire with the full support of the friendly team.
Rustic Barn
The venue’s rustic barn- The Old Dairy - elegantly renovated with ceiling height windows, enjoys views of the meadows and woodland fringes. Its twinkling lights on gorgeous wooden beams provide a neutral palette that you can decorate to suit your wedding style.
Handmade rustic furnishings are perfect for banquet style feasting and there’s plenty of space for live music bands, DJs and a dance-packed wedding celebration party.
The Rustic Barn Terrace
Informal picnic benches continue the relaxed feel and the terrace is often used as the focus for welcome drinks or a mingle and meet. The perfect place for a pop up bar or festival-style food trucks with plenty of space to play games on the surrounding lawns with views of the firepit.
Outdoor Wedding Ceremony Spaces
Higher Holcombe is renowned for outdoor weddings which can be held in the gorgeously secluded silver birch ‘church’ or in the unique hill-top willow ‘cathedral’. And if the weather is uncertain, the funky stretch tent in the celebration meadow is perfect for an undercover wedding ceremony surrounded by countryside.
Hill-top willow ‘cathedral’
This is possibly the only wedding venue in the UK (and maybe the world) to offer you a willow ‘cathedral’. Imagine your wedding guests walking along the gently meandering ‘willow walkway’ aisle to the unique hill-top willow cathedral. Three ‘chapels’ are formed with maturing willows climbing around the 35m long frame. A truly memorable location for your outdoor wedding ceremony.
The willow cathedral is not only for wedding ceremonies. You could invite your guests to start the party with your own hill-top prosecco or cocktail bar! After, you can wander meandering pathway - lined with wildflowers – back to the barn.
Secluded Silver Birch ‘Church’
The elegant silver birch church has a romantic and secluded feel and is just perfect for your woodland wedding ceremony. White-barked birch trees form a natural aisle, and the gently rustling leaves provide a pretty and shady canopy. It’s also a great location for a woodland bar, a spot for speeches, an al fresco meal in the shade or even your first dance!
Celebration Meadow Stretch Tent
With the funky stretch tent, outdoor ceremonies can still take place outside – whatever the weather! And if the sun is shining, the stretch tent becomes a perfect chill-out space in the shade! Located between the Old Dairy and the firepit and lit with festoon lighting – it’s yet another fabulous facility of this generous Devon venue.
Wedding Weekend Accommodation Included
Whether for one, two or three nights - Higher Holcombe venue hire includes all the accommodation! There’s a spacious and modern farmhouse for 10 - perfect for the main wedding party to get dressed and ready in; two shepherds huts and five gigantic canvas onion-shaped Lotus Belle tents.
The jewel in the crown here is the quirky honeymoon hideaway! Affectionately named ‘The Hobbit House’ – this curiously curved shingle-clad surprise is located on the woodland fringes with its own private facilities – which is what you deserve!
