Civil wedding ceremonies and partnerships can take place in the Great Chamber (maximum capacity 80) or Oak Room (maximum capacity 20) of Fountains Hall. We can offer the private walled garden or atmospheric Stone Hall of Fountains Hall for celebratory drinks and the historic estate offers a stunning backdrop for your wedding photographs.

 

The Great Chamber features an immense 400 year old carved stone fireplace and a remarkable, ornate ceiling. Light floods into the room through the south-facing window which contains hand-painted Jacobean heraldic glass.

 

A drinks reception, held to entertain your guests while photographs are being taken amidst the estate’s many spectacular locations, can be hosted at Fountains Hall, either on the lawns or in the Stone Hall or in the private walled Elizabethan Garden.
