The Spyway Inn is situated in the beautiful West Dorset countryside, with far-reaching views over stunning rolling hills. We are only a five-minute drive from Bridport and the iconic beaches of the Jurassic Coast and only a 20-minute drive from the county town of Dorchester, which has a direct train service (2 hours) to London.

The Spyway is a historic old smuggler's inn, first licensed in 1745. It has oodles of character and traditional internal features and almost an acre of outside space to create your dream wedding day. We have a variety of hard-standing and grassed areas, pergolas, a stream, a wildflower garden, a fire pit, a bell tent, and six heated and lit customisable pods. Marquees up to 12m x 15m can be set up to accommodate up to 80 people.

We are fully licensed and offer exclusive private hire of the premises—you can even rename the inn for the day. We specialise in cooking outdoors—think seafood BBQ and giant paellas over the fire pit!

St Michael's Church in Askerswell is just a few minutes away for religious ceremonies, and we can perform blessings in our garden.

With twenty years of experience in event planning and management, our team will work with you to create your perfect wedding reception. We partner with local suppliers, including marquees and yurts, bands and entertainment, florists and decor specialists, as well as a host of accommodation providers to supplement our two-bedroom guest suite.

We look forward to seeing how we can help you create your dream day.

The Spyway Inn is a wedding venue located in Bridport, Dorset.
