Valleyside Barn scoops Gold for Wedding Venue of the Year

Bickleigh-based Valleyside Barn recently won Gold for Wedding Venue of the Year at the Devon Tourism awards (2025/26). This marks the venue's second award in consecutive years after achieving Highly Commended in the Country/Barn Venue category at the South West Wedding Awards in 2024.

Emma Wright, co-owner, said, "We are so proud to receive this award. Hosting weddings is a huge responsibility, and we are dedicated to giving couples a perfect and relaxed wedding day. This award recognises our fantastic team and all the amazing couples that have chosen to get married at Valleyside Barn – a huge thank you to them."

Matthew Wright, co-owner, said, "One of the reasons we enter awards is to benchmark ourselves and ensure we continue to strive to offer the best possible experience to couples. To receive another wedding award in consecutive years and to achieve gold is an incredible achievement and testament to that." Sister business Valleyside Escapes glamping won Gold at the South West Tourism awards in 2024 and Devon Tourism awards in 2023/24.

Carrie Thomas, visitor information officer at Tiverton Tourist Information Service, said, "Huge congratulations to Valleyside Barn. The availability of a multi-award-winning, wedding and events venue which also has award-winning luxury glamping accommodation is an excellent asset to Mid-Devon and supports our current work to promote all that is great about this area through Visit Mid Devon."
