Upton Barn and Walled Garden are fully licensed for civil ceremonies in both The Cider Barn and The Arbour in the Walled Garden. A typical ceremony lasts about 30 minutes and is conducted by a Registrar from Mid Devon Registrars. By law, a civil ceremony must be non-religious in content, so cannot include, for example, hymns, religious readings, music or prayers however a civil ceremony can be tailored to you by including favorite readings, poems, live or recorded music allowing your imagination to run wild.
We provide the discreet management of your ceremony so you can completely relax in the knowledge that your “I dos” will run seamlessly. You can choose between our arbor constructed of oak from the farm or our lovingly restored Cider Barn for your ceremony, both are set within the grounds of our stunning walled garden and are the perfect choice for providing a relaxed and unique feel to your day.
