Just 10 minutes from Exeter, Harefield Barn feels like it’s a world away. Located on the family farm in beautiful countryside, Harefield Barn’s careful design has flexibility and personal service at its heart, Making the most of its elevated position, Harefield Barn is flooded with light from huge windows providing fabulous views over Devon’s rolling hills. The terrace gives way to lawned areas and wildflower meadows, and with corn fields and cider orchards nearby, it’s perfect for some very special photos.
Harefield Barn has a fresh modern appearance but has plenty of characterful features such as stunning scissor beams in the hall and a cozy wood-burning stove in the bar. Once described as ‘barn chic’ the decoration is kept to a minimum so couples can use it as a blank canvas to create their own style of event should they wish. Underfloor heating throughout makes it perfect whatever the weather, and on a lovely day, bifold doors open onto the terrace from both the bar and main hall, making it a truly inside or outside venue.
We are fully licensed for marriage ceremonies, and there are also no less than 5 beautiful village churches within 3 miles, so Harefield Barn also makes the perfect spot for a fabulous rustic reception.
The Clock House offers a truly romantic option for outdoor ceremonies. The open sided oak building frames the fabulous views of the rolling countryside beyond whilst your guests are seated on the terrace before you.
The Leveret Suite is our sumptuous preparation room, complete with shower and WC. Furnished in the style of a comfortable drawing room, it has ample space for the bride and her party to prepare, with lots of light for hair and make-up artists, and is perfect for stunning ‘getting-ready’ photos. It has Juliet balcony style doors with far reaching views towards Exeter, and, of course, mirrors aplenty! It can be used as a charming ‘sitting room’ for couples to escape to for five minutes peace during their hectic day, or for more senior members of the family in the evening, or even to house a travel cot for the little ones!
Flexibility is the name of our ‘game’. We ask you to choose from our extensive range of recommended caterers, but don’t tie you down to any other particular suppliers, allowing you to create the truly bespoke wedding of your dreams. If you want the full formal experience, that’s great, but if you would prefer to be more casual with a barbecue, sharing boards or street food, then that’s great too! We will be there every step of the way to help you with your arrangements beforehand and on the big day.
Ours is a truly family business, and we want to keep it that way! In order to maintain the personal nature of what we offer, we have chosen to limit the number of weddings we host each year so we can give each one the attention it deserves. Therefore, we normally only offer extended hire periods at Harefield Barn, giving you time to relax and enjoy the experience of a lifetime. (Although, as always, we try to be flexible and inclusive - so you can always ask for other options!)
