The big day is nearly here. The next Royal wedding will take place on 19th May, with the ceremony set to start at 12pm. It’s therefore only natural that we celebrate in true British style with afternoon tea, Pimms and confetti throwing to rejoice the Royal wedding ceremony. To help you experience this very special occasion, we’ve put together a list of South Devon establishments offering special Royal wedding events.


Soar Mill Cove Hotel

The festivities will commence at 11:30am until 2pm on Saturday May 19th, with live music from jazz, sax and guitar duo, Two’s Up. Rejoice in British style with Pimms & canapés, followed by an amazing buffet lunch and a glass of bubbly to toast to the Royal couple.
