More of our couples are choosing glamping here at Ashridge and here are some reasons why…

Extended celebrations!

You can have a whole weekend of glamping to celebrate with your loved ones all on site with you. You have a relaxed set up day followed by a bbq . Then on the Sunday you could host a brunch and relive the moments from your big day, before everyone heads off home.

Set on a working farm in the heart of Devon with easy access from Exeter and Okehampton, The Ashridge Estate is the perfect location to base your wedding party.

Glamping is a unique memorable experience with a festival feel.

There is a real mini festival vibe with the bell tents and twinkly fairy lights.

Wedding glamping is unique because it turns a single wedding day into a memorable, multi-day festival experience with onsite comfort, fostering a communal, relaxed vibe under the stars.

You can blend rustic nature with luxury amenities like real beds and heating. Tents set up above are from Devon Belles

Convenience and less stress: Glamping means everyone in one place.

Being close to the party and eliminating travel stress. No need to worry about taxis or late night drives. At the end of the night you just stroll through the gorgeous grounds to your cozy tent under the stars! Stress free logistics are a win, with everyone on site where they need to be, so no worrying about anyone being late!

Stunning Scenery: Natural light and beautiful sunset photos.

Providing photo opportunities in abundance with the bell tents and the gorgeous countryside backdrop. The tents make an instagrammable backdrop for your celebrations. 

Glamping beautifully merges the wild, picturesque settings of nature with hotel-level comforts and unique, photogenic bell tents. These are filled with cosy amenities, fairy lights, and you can even upgrade to real beds.
The experience offers a magical, hassle-free escape that feels luxurious, adventurous and makes it easy to relax and connect with the outdoors in style. 

Eco-Friendly Glamping: Means a sustainable choice.

Wedding glamping is eco-friendly because it drastically cuts guest travel emissions by providing on site accommodation. Tents and yurts have a lighter footprint on the land. It reduces waste via digital systems and local sourcing, supporting biodiversity.

At Ashridge our water is sourced from a borehole on site and all our waste is processed in a bio-digester here as well.  We compost and recycle as much as we can on site. We have installed water saving sinks and toilets in our new toilet and shower block. We’re currently looking at the cost of sourcing our electricity from sustainable sources too. 

Budget-Friendly: You can use nature and do a lot more yourself if you want to

Wedding glamping can save money by creating an all-in-one venue, eliminating hotel/taxi costs, reducing décor needs (using natural settings), and allowing for DIY & off-peak savings.

Consolidating expenses into a festival-style experience where guests stay, party, and sleep in one spot also means cutting travel and logistics. Glamping means you can create more of a DIY experience how ever you choose, as you are not restricted like you might be in a hotel.

We also have a newly converted toilet and shower block on site, meaning no additional facilities need to be hired in.
