Weddings & Parties at Oxen Park Farm
Over the years we have hosted a number of weddings here at the farm - couples who have want to be surrounded by beauty, offering their guests a wholesome, ethically grown feast and a celebration nestled in one of the most verdant valleys in Devon.
The way we host weddings here has been crafted with attention to what couples have loved most about their celebration, and what is viable for us as a working farm.
This year we have availability for only 4 weddings. We can offer options for both day & weekend celebrations for up to 150 guests.
Please note that we are not licensed for legal ceremonies.
Your celebration...
CEREMONY
Under the arch in the Circle Garden, on the Village Green, or inside in our beautiful Cob Barn, you have a choice of settings to say your vows in front of friends and family.
DRINKS & CANAPÉS
Drinks & Canapes are served in the yard, with space for your guests to enjoy the farm. Photographs in the orchard, the flower garden, underneath the oak trees, or anywhere you choose.
FARM TOUR FOR YOUR YOUNG GUESTS
If there is a moment where your younger guests may get fidgety, Farmer Jo can provide a tour of the farm animals, collecting the eggs, feeding the pigs and visiting the sheep.
WEDDING FEAST
Food and feasting is at the heart of our commitment to nourish, connect and celebrate the community and land we live on. Your wedding meal will be made with organically grown vegetarian produce harvested from our own vegetable beds and, where possible other local producers that share our approach to regenerative farming and sustainability.
EVENING CELEBRATION
Whether you hire a band, DJ, or simply have a playlist to boogie to, our barefoot Cob Barn is a spacious setting for your evening to take to the dancefloor, while firepits, fairy lights and our Dock & Thistle bar bring the yard to life after dark.
YOUR WEDDING NIGHT weekend celebration only
Our Mongolian yurt awaits when your dancing feet tire, complete with a wood burner for chillier evenings. Your guests can hire our spacious bell tents, complete with mattresses, or pitch their own tents if they prefer. Hot showers and brunch awaits the following morning as you savour this truly beautiful setting before heading home.
