An activity-packed wedding experience at Bovey Castle

With more couples opting for extended celebrations, a venue that allows newlyweds and their nearest and dearest to linger a little longer and enjoy a host of facilities and activities is an absolute must. Boasting 275 acres of sprawling countryside in addition to a luxurious selection of rooms and accommodation, Bovey Castle provides both a breathtaking backdrop for the big day, and a spectacular minimoon destination.

Arrive ahead of time for a pre-wedding spa pampering session or a cider or sloe gin-making date with your bridesmaids; or stay for a few days and relax with a round of golf and a gourmet dinner party. Create a customised schedule of entertainment with Bovey Castle’s vast assortment of offerings, which range from falconry displays, archery, air rifle and clay pigeon shooting to bushcraft, croquet, bike riding, 4x4 off-roading, tennis, yoga, fly-fishing and deer park and estate tours.

Located in the rolling valleys of Dartmoor National Park, the surrounding area is home to stunning moorland to explore and things to do. Take a shire horse and covered carriage ride to North Bovey, try your hand at bee-keeping or simply roam the wilderness of the park. Children will adore the brass rubbing trail, KidsZone play area (complete with interactive activities) and meeting the resident chickens and ferrets, while older children and adults alike will enjoy hours of virtual entertainment in the TechZone.
