Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - January/February 2024 (Issue 47)

What’s new? VALLEYSIDE ESCAPES SCOOPS GOLD AT THE DEVON TOURISM AWARDS Valleyside Escapes is a luxury glamping site in Bickleigh and the sister property of the rustic wedding venue Valleyside Barn. It has recently been honoured as the top glamping site in Devon and was awarded Gold in the Glamping Business of the Year category, at the 2023/24 Devon Tourism Awards. This is the 8th award that the team at Valleyside Escapes has received and the 4th from the Devon Tourism Awards since it opened just over five years ago. Emma Wright who runs Valleyside Barn & Escapes with her husband Matthew said, “To be honoured as the top glamping site in Devon is a fantastic achievement and recognition of our team’s hard work. Last year we started welcoming our first wedding glampers. For couples, the option of being able to have their loved ones stay on-site to celebrate this once-in-a-lifetime moment is appealing.” Valleyside Escapes has three large safari tents overlooking the picturesque Exe Valley. Stunning sunsets provide the perfect spot for big-day photography as well as a private stretch of the River Exe where newlyweds can venture for couple portraits. More than 70% of couples who got married at Valleyside Barn in 2023 booked luxury glamping safari tents for their guests. Matthew Wright said, “We are extremely proud of this award and hope to replicate this success for Valleyside Barn.” To find out more and to book, visit www.valleysideescapes.co.uk BEST OF DEVON AND CORNWALL We reveal what both regions have to offer www.rebekahthomasphotography.co.uk HAREFIELD BARN ANNOUNCES ALL INCLUSIVE PACKAGE FOR 2024 The talented team at Devon’s Harefield Barn have launched the All Inclusive Package for 2024.
