Drinks stalls include Dartmoor Coffee, Deck Chair Gin, Exe Valley Brewery, Hanlons Brewery, Papillon Gin, Powderkeg Beer, Rull Orchard Cier, Utopian Brewing and wine tasting by Grape and Grain Wine Merchants.

The transformation of the old timber outbuilding to a rustic, substantial barn has taken around two years.
Matt Wright, Partner of Valleyside Barn and Escapes, said: "A lot of engineering has gone into the conversion but we've successfully kept the authenticity of the barn whilst also significantly modernising it at the same time."
There are already weddings booked for 2022 and whislt it is envisaged the bar will mainly be used for this purpose, the space itself to a host of other uses, including corporate events and even as a filming location along with the wider outbuilding complex.
