About

The Corn Barn

The Corn Barn is a beautifully restored rural event venue at Sutton Barton near Cullompton in Devon. Originally redundant farm buildings, the barns were restored by owners Ian and Yta Batchelor in 2010 and now combine original cob and stone walls, exposed beams and rustic character with modern facilities for conferences, corporate events, weddings and private celebrations.


The interconnected venue centres around the Main Barn and private courtyard, with additional spaces including the Linhay, Loft, Little Barn and Old Stable. Corporate events range from smaller meetings and workshops to conferences for 150–200 delegates theatre style, with breakout areas, WiFi, PA, projector and screen, onsite parking and flexible catering.

Event Spaces

Main Barn

The Main Barn is the principal event space, featuring original beams, cob and stone walls, extensive natural daylight and doors opening directly onto the central courtyard. It can be configured for conferences, presentations, dining, ceremonies and evening entertainment.


For corporate events, The Corn Barn publishes capacities of 150–200 theatre style and 100–120 cabaret style, depending on the required layout.


The Linhay

An interconnected reception and hospitality space containing the venue's fully stocked licensed bar. With a wood-burning stove, underfloor heating and direct connection to the courtyard, it works particularly well for registration, networking, drinks receptions and informal breakout use.


The Loft

Overlooking the main space, the Loft provides a quieter breakout area while remaining connected to activity within the Barn. It can be used for informal meetings, breakout groups, displays or additional event activities.


Little Barn & Orchard

The Little Barn is situated within the cider orchard and provides a separate characterful space away from the Main Barn. While primarily promoted for ceremonies, it can also provide an additional event setting or photography location.


The Old Stable

A quieter ancillary room providing useful additional space away from the principal event areas. It can work as an organiser's office, speaker room, green room or quiet breakout space.


Courtyard

At the centre of the interconnected barns is a private south-facing walled courtyard incorporating terrace, lawn, patio and covered areas. It can accommodate networking, outdoor catering, entertainment and informal activities.

Facilities and Services

The Corn Barn provides WiFi, PA system, integrated sound, projector and screen, tables and chairs, licensed bar, catering kitchen and extensive onsite parking. The venue does not operate compulsory in-house catering: organisers can appoint their own caterer, and the venue's kitchen and preparation area are available for their use.

Why Hire

The Corn Barn offers something different from a conventional conference hotel while retaining the facilities business events actually need. Conferences can accommodate up to 200 delegates theatre style, with smaller interconnected spaces available for breakout sessions, networking and informal discussions.


It's also genuinely flexible. Catering can either be arranged by the venue or supplied by the client's own caterer, while layouts can accommodate conferences, trade stands, workshops and product launches. The combination of indoor and outdoor areas makes it particularly strong for company away days and events where networking is an important part of the programme.
