Welcome to our newest addition - the Chi Yspyrys
The name is Cornish for Faerie or Spirit House, which links to the ethereal theme of this structure.
This offers a special private place in the midst of nature for small intimate weddings (non-legally binding), handfastings, renewal of vows and other small events.
Built from locally sourced chestnut and our old ash tree (which we felled due to dieback), it nestles in the centre of our wildlife field. The stone surround made use of the remaining stone from the Roundhouse, whilst the slate chippings in the central area, are upcycled broken roof tiles from previous roofing work on the house.

Weddings and Small Events
The Chi Yspyrys is the ideal location for a small intimate gathering or event. Seating up to 12 people around the edges, it leaves a central space for whatever your needs.
Weddings
We offer wedding packages (non-legally binding), handfastings and renewal of vows ceremonies, from just £600. With costs spiralling, we want to offer people a more affordable special day, without compromising the experience or the memories.
The light and airy structure, surrounded by trees, gives the feeling of a woodland clearing, linking directly with the natural environment in which it sits. Accommodating the couple and up to 8 guests, the wedding party are brought together as one, giving everyone an uninterrupted view of the ceremony
The wildlife field offers a number of natural clearings amongst the trees and ferns, lending themselves to the perfect wedding photograph.
The Roundhouse is a novel addition to any wedding, where the party can sip a celebratory glass of champagne, mead or a non-alcoholic alternatives and nibbles around the fire.
The Hayloft is available for the night before, getting ready on the big day and the wedding night.
As celebrants, we will work closely with you to ensure your day is everything you hope for.
Venue, celebrant and accommodation; all available at the Devon Shippon.
Space for Community Groups
As well as the Roundhouse, The Chi Yspyrys offers another sheltered space, seating up to 8 people.
With the open-sided design, it is lighter and open to the natural environment which surrounds it.
Space for therapists and counselling
The Roundhouse field is secluded and private. It offers a peaceful space for visitors, amongst the
trees and wildflowers.
Set within the wildlife field, there are small clearings within the trees and grasses, for individuals,
as well as our labyrinth.
