Monks Withcombe is a country wedding venue just over a mile from Chagford in Dartmoor National Park, Devon. The flower filled courtyards and sweeping views over one of Britain’s most loved national parks provide the perfect backdrop to a truly memorable big day. All weddings at Monks are exclusive use, with the solid transport connections ensuring guests can easily access its rural and secluded setting.
Civil ceremonies are hosted in either the Corn Barn or The Gallery. The Corn Barn is flooded with natural light and features a high double vaulted ceiling. It also has access to the Middle Courtyard, the ideal place to host pre or post-ceremony drinks. Underfloor heating ensures this room is available and inviting year round. The Art Gallery combines the same level of period charm with modern updates. Holding up to 100 people, this space also links through to the Middle Courtyard and offers views across Dartmoor.
Monks’ gardens and national park setting make for the ideal backdrop for all the important wedding photos. The couple are free to explore and find shots that suit them, whether that\s in the rolling green meadows or deep in the wildflower hedges. These same fields can also play host to a marquee for the wedding breakfast and evening party. The venue can recommend a range of good local suppliers to provide the wedding breakfast and any other wedding needs. As a result, the food and style of the day is open for customisation, resulting in a bespoke experience that will live in the memory for a lifetime.
An overnight stay for the newly married couple is included as part of all weddings at Monks. All weddings are also planned alongside the venue’s dedicated events team and there’s free off road parking for up to 200 cars.
