The Wellington

In the heart of the Hampshire countryside lies The Wellington built in the 17th Century. This delightful Farm House boasts an array of

public areas and rooms restored to their former glory, offering guests traditional elegance, combined with modern facilities.

We can accommodate weddings, large or small and with our

excellent reputation built up locally over many years together with our first class cuisine and excellent traditional hospitality, where

better to celebrate your very special day.

The Wellington’s character, grounds and lovely setting is perfect for capturing those special moments on camera or

socialising with your guests as they enjoy a Champagne Reception in the garden.

You will find that we provide an excellent service and this combined with our friendly team and atmosphere means that you and your

guests can relax and enjoy your day.

The location of The Wellington is ideal too, situated only ten miles

from Reading, eight miles from Basingstoke, with excellent motorway links to the M3 and the M4.

Your Special Day

The Hampshire Suite at The Wellington provides the perfect location for you and your guests to dine and dance into the early hours and

with an impressive array of menus, together with a delectable selection of wines to tempt everyone, your day into the evening will

be a truly memorable one.

The Hampshire Suite can cater for up to 110 during the wedding meal and an additional 65 guests can join you for your

evening Reception.

For those smaller, intimate weddings, our Wellesley Suite is perfect. It is large enough to host a wedding meal for up to 30 guests.

The Wellesley Suite is beautifully proportioned with two French doors

leading onto a private patio.

We are also privileged by The Duke of Wellington to have use of his Church on the estate. Please speak to the Wedding Co-ordinator to

discuss your requirements.
