About the venue
Bracken Tor House is a licensed venue for civil ceremonies set in 4 acres of landscaped grounds on the edge of Dartmoor above Okehampton. It is a secluded, picturesque and idyllic retreat for a beautiful wedding ceremony and reception.
Within the grounds are two buildings surrounded by bluebell woods and open moorland with great views over the town of Okehampton.
The main house is an Arts & Crafts style built in 1908 with oak panelling and leaded windows. Bracken Tor Lodge is a recently converted pumphouse adorned in local granite. Both offer warm reception areas and comfortable accommodation.
The wider grounds offer spaces for camping, campfires and BBQs with the woods and open moorland waiting to be explored. This English countryside location and delightful grounds will offer a beautiful backdrop to your perfect day.
Plan your wedding day
There are two areas which are licensed by Devon County Council. Most choose to have the ceremony under the pagoda in our beautiful gardens. There is outdoor seating for 100 guests and a temporary shelter is available in the event of poor weather, which can be erected near the pagoda. In winter you may prefer to use our function room for the ceremony. This has two paved areas adjacent where guests can gather whilst we rearrange the room for a reception afterwards.
Thank you to all the couples who have shared their images of their special day at Bracken Tor and if you’d like to see more why not check out Brian Robinson Photographers blog about Freya and Kian’s wedding at Bracken Tor.
