Sturtlebury Barn

Sturtlebury Barn is a distinctive event venue in South Devon, set in a peaceful countryside location overlooking the River Avon. The contemporary barn combines rustic character with practical facilities, making it a flexible setting for weddings, birthday parties, anniversaries, Christmas celebrations, graduations, wakes and private family gatherings.

The venue can seat up to 80 guests for a formal meal, while receptions with buffets or finger food can accommodate up to 110 people across the barn and its outdoor areas. Large sliding doors connect the interior with sheltered and paved spaces, giving organisers the option to move easily between indoor and outdoor areas when the weather allows. The surrounding valley views provide a memorable backdrop for drinks receptions, photographs and relaxed celebrations.

Wedding organisers can hire the barn across three days, allowing time for preparation, decoration and clearing away. The venue welcomes personal styling, with fairy lights, mood lighting, power points and fixing points for bunting, photographs and other decorations already in place. A staffed bar offers locally sourced beers, ciders, wines and gins, while organisers may choose from recommended catering suppliers or arrange their own caterer.

Additional facilities include handmade tables and benches, toilets, heating from a wood burner, an outdoor fire pit, a Bose music system and a large LED television for slideshows or videos. Located near Kingsbridge and within easy reach of the A38, Sturtlebury Barn offers event planners a relaxed, adaptable venue for intimate celebrations in the South Hams.
