Celebrate together, surrounded by natural beauty.

Three settings, one memorable weekend.
From a lakeside ceremony to dancing under the rafters.

Say 'I do' under open sky
Exchange your vows on our lakeside island - a natural amphitheatre of green, with the valley as your backdrop and birdsong as your soundtrack.

Feast together, your way.
Round tables, chivari chairs and golden light in the Quantock Barn, 300m² of beautiful, flexible space for up to 200 guests that flows easily from afternoon into evening.
Dance, celebrate, and savour every moment
When night falls, the party moves into the barn under its beautiful roof lining.
See pricing for each space, room by room and view by view.
Download the Brochure for PricingThe ceremony you actually want
Secret Valley is currently unlicensed for civil ceremonies, and for most couples that turns out to be a freedom rather than a limitation. The usual approach: complete the legal paperwork with the registrar beforehand (a short, simple appointment), then have the ceremony you really want here, on the island or in the barn, led by a celebrant, with your words, your music, your moments, and no script imposed on you.
Want the detail? Read our lakeside ceremony guide, which walks through exactly how couples plan it.
And if it rains? You're covered, beautifully.
Every couple planning an outdoor wedding asks. The honest answer: the Quantock Barn gives you 300m² of characterful indoor space with the roof lining included as standard, so your ceremony, wedding breakfast and dancing can all happen inside without losing an ounce of atmosphere. Many couples plan the barn for dinner and dancing anyway, so rain simply moves the vows indoors too.
Your favourite people,
all staying on-site.
With 30+ unique stays across the valley, your guests don't go home - they stay. Glamping with character, comfort in the wild, and a slow morning-after breakfast together before anyone says goodbye.

From Friday hellos to Sunday farewells
This is how couples typically shape their weekend here. Every one is different, so this is simply what the valley makes possible.
Friday
Arrivals & settling in
The valley is yours from the day before the wedding. Check into lodges, huts and wigwams, dress the barn together, and watch the place become yours.
Welcome drinks
Gather everyone by the firepit as the sun goes down, a relaxed first evening with the people you love most, no taxis required.
Saturday
The morning
A calm start in your own corner of the valley. Many wedding parties book the Pamper Pod for treatments while the barn gets its finishing touches.
The ceremony
Say your vows on the lakeside island or in the barn, whichever setting feels like you.
Drinks & photographs
Canapés and drinks on the lawns, lawn games, photographs by the lake and through the valley.
The wedding breakfast
Dinner in the Quantock Barn, up to 200 seated beneath the lined roof, styled exactly the way you imagined it.
The evening
Dancing in the barn, and firepits under the stars for the quieter conversations. When the night ends, everyone walks back to bed, no driving required.
Sunday
Breakfast & farewells
No rushed checkouts. A slow morning, breakfast with your guests, one more walk around the lake, and the goodbyes happen when you're ready.

Hidden, but never hard to reach
Tucked away in the Somerset countryside, yet just 2 hours from London and 15 minutes from the M5. Far enough to feel like another world. Close enough for everyone to find you.
The questions every couple asks
The Quantock Barn can seat up to 200 guests for dinner. Our on-site glamping accommodation can sleep 60+ guests across our lodges, shepherd's huts, wigwams, and belle tents.
Yes. When you book Secret Valley for your wedding, you have exclusive use of the entire site from the day before your wedding until the day after. We only ever host one wedding at a time.
Absolutely. We provide a fully equipped commercial kitchen but leave catering and supplier choices entirely to you. We're happy to recommend trusted local suppliers if you'd like a starting point.
Your wedding party stays on-site across 30+ unique glamping units, sleeping 60+ guests. Everyone wakes up together in the valley for a relaxed morning-after breakfast before saying goodbye.
Our island ceremony space is currently unlicensed, making it perfect for symbolic ceremonies. Many couples have their legal ceremony at a registry office beforehand, or arrange a celebrant to lead the ceremony here.
We'd love to show you the valley in person. Book a private tour and we'll walk you through every space, answer your questions, and help you picture your day here.
We're open for weddings from late March through the end of October, with peak season running from May to September. Arrival is from 2:30pm and departure by 10:30am.
Send us an enquiry with your preferred date and we'll confirm availability. Because we host only a handful of weddings each year, popular dates are booked well in advance.
You'll still have a beautiful day. The Quantock Barn gives you 300m² of characterful indoor space with the roof lining included as standard, so your ceremony, wedding breakfast and dancing can all move inside without losing any atmosphere. Many couples plan the barn for dinner and dancing anyway, so rain simply moves the vows indoors too.
Absolutely, it's what the venue does best. With exclusive use, glamping for 60+ guests, firepits and lawns for games, many couples plan a full Friday-to-Sunday celebration: welcome drinks on arrival night, the wedding on Saturday, and a slow Sunday breakfast before everyone heads home.
Many couples base wedding-morning preparations in one of the lodges, and our on-site Pamper Pod offers professional treatments, a lovely, calm way for the wedding party to start the day before the ceremony.
The valley keeps everyone happy: walks around the lake and vineyard, lawn games and evenings around the firepits, with the Quantock Hills right on the doorstep for those who want to explore. There's a full range of on-site activities to discover across the weekend.
Quantock Barn venue hire starts from £4,500, or from £4,750 with the lakeside ceremony included. Full pricing for every season and package is published in our wedding brochure, with no hidden extras. Guest accommodation is booked separately, and many couples pass those bookings on to their guests.
Yes, Secret Valley hosts hen parties and group celebrations throughout the year, with glamping, hot tubs, the Pamper Pod and lake activities. Some couples fall in love with the venue at a hen weekend first.
Still wondering something? We'd love to hear from you.
