That’s exactly why we created The Quirky Wedding Fayre—a vibrant, fun-filled event where individuality shines. Think live music, street food, circus performers and more! Nestled in the stunning Mid Devon hills, close to the pretty hamlet of Stoodleigh, Hawke Barn is a former threshing barn that has been transformed into an animal and nature lover’s paradise! Experience the peace and tranquility of the stunning surrounding countryside, whilst discovering the venue's blend of unique indoor and outdoor spaces. We're not kidding when we say it's perfect for animal lovers either - it is on the site of a farm specialising in horse-racing, with opportunities to meet some of the venue's cuddlier residents, including Teddy and Gerald, two live-in teddy bear sheep who love a celebration! We’ve handpicked an incredible bunch of creative, inclusive, and downright awesome wedding suppliers who bring something fresh, fun, and totally unique to the table.

Quiet Hour We get it, wedding fairs can be overwhelming. That’s why we’ve introduced Quirky Quiet Hour (2pm-3pm)—a dedicated, low-sensory time for those who prefer a calmer browsing experience. Expect no loud music, no harsh lights, limited crowds, and a no-pressure atmosphere. Exhibitors will only chat if you want to! This fayre is accessible except for a small step up to the main barn. Please note that while the ground is flat, this is a farm venue and so the ground is uneven and most of the paths are paved with gravel which wheelchair users may find difficult. If you would like to discuss your access requirements then please do get in touch with us so that we can make your experience as enjoyable as possible!
