Full Description
We specialise in the more alternative and unconventional and give a real Bohemian and festival flavour to all of our events. We love colour and will bring a real sense of uniqueness and humour to your occasion.
We’re situated in a sheltered stunning valley near the village of Broadhembury in the Blackdown Hills. Our lovely flock of sheep will be your only spectators.
We organise everything you need. The venue is yours for setting up from the Wednesday; guests are welcome to camp from the Friday evening until the Monday morning. We also have our own beautifully furnished bell tents to hire for you or your guests.
We have our own marquee which you can hire, or we can source you any other type of marquee you like. We also have a funky barn with a fully running bar which you can either run yourselves, or we can run a licenced bar for you. We also have a large bbq area and a small kitchen. Facilities include showers for campers.
We support local caterers and all of our food is sourced from local and free range producers. We can do as much or as little catering as you like. You are very welcome to sort out your own food if you prefer.
We can help you to find the perfect entertainment. Jugglers, clowns, story tellers, children’s craft areas, poi, drummers, musicians, whatever you want, we can get it! You can play your music as late as you like, but it will have to be turned down at 1am to stop the sheep getting grumpy! You and your runny mascara will not be horribly exposed at midnight with the sudden silence and bright light experience!

We had the best party of our lives
Thank you so much for all your help, not only on our wedding day but for the past year helping us get organised for the big day. From when we first came to view this lovely place over a year ago, we instantly fell in love and could not imagine getting married anywhere else. You both have come to feel more like family to us than venue owners !! We had the best party of our lives and it is all down to you guys! Thank you. Jordan and Kristi Spicer.

No stress, no fuss, just fun
Gerry and Fiona,
We had an 'idea' for what would be our perfect wedding. That idea was delivered and we are 100% sure that there is no where else it could have happened. We, our family and guests felt at home, and none of us wanted to leave. We knew we wanted something different from the traditional wedding scene and after visiting GreenAcres we knew exactly where and what we wanted. With Fiona and Gerry providing excellent service and ideas en route to our wedding day we had a canvas that was already hot and ready for moulding to sculpt the perfect day. No stress, no fuss, just fun in the most personable way possible.... with loads of time to enjoy a beer in the sun. When the day arrived there was not a dry eye in sight.... just a stunning bride balanced against the backdrop of the hembury hills. Love Dan and Sam.

Best Wedding Ever!
Fiona and Gary made our wedding the best day. Very relaxed atmosphere helped us with the planning and made sure nothing was forgotten on the day. They were so kind and caring allowing us to set up before and take our time clearing up to make sure we enjoyed every part of the weekend.

You made John a very happy man.
We have had a fantastic time, the party was brilliant and all those fairyland people covered in glitter! Thank you Gerry and Fiona for all your help, kindness and friendliness. The youth partied to the small hours and all went home happy. GreenAcres is a great venue with everything you need there or sourced. You made John a very happy man. Thanks, Joyce x

Everything was perfect, we will never forget
Dear Fiona and Gerry, Thank you so much for such an amazing wedding, we could never imagine it would be so perfect. Your venue is amazing and the image of everyone gathered around the fire with the bar, marquee and oak tree lit up and decorated was so magical and will stay with us for life. You have both been such superstars, we never could have imagined finding people who would just constantly say "yes no problem" to all our crazy ideas. We will never forget Narnia or the yellow brick road and every single guest we have spoken to just thought you were amazing and such good fun. Everything was perfect, we will never forget a thing. Emily and Kirsty x
