W E D D I N G S AT G AW S WO RT HOne of Britain’s finest Tudor manor houses, few settings offer

the romance and beauty of Gawsworth Hall, once home to Mary Fitton, Dark Lady of Shakespeare’s sonnets.

Part of the tranquil and picturesque ancient Cheshire village of Gawsworth, it is the ideal venue for your civil marriage

ceremony and reception.

C E R E M O N Y O N LY

The Long Hall, our oak-beamed marriage room, can accommodate up to 46 guests, plus the bride and groom.

Once the ceremony has taken place, the wedding party may leave via the courtyard double-doors for drinks in the rose

garden. Photographs may be taken anywhere in the grounds and certain rooms in the Hall if the weather is poor.

Why not let us serve drinks in the dining room after the ceremony? We will prepare the room and provide glasses, however we do ask you to bring

your own wine or champagne.

There is an additional charge for the use of the dining room.

R E C E P T I O N O N LYMarquees are sited on the Camomile lawn between the Church

and the Hall, overlooking the lake, or the sunken lawn in the Hall courtyard. This gives you and your guests the best opportunity to enjoy the setting, with plenty of room for outside seating in the

summer months. Our facility fee includes the exclusive use of the gardens, electricity for lighting, and a water supply.

Please note due to the peaceful nature of Gawsworth, we request that any amplified music is approved prior to the wedding, and a sound limit adhered too. We also ask that the grounds be vacated

by 11.30pm.

and friends in the Hall grounds. With over a decade of experience we can provide a bespoke service against the

backdrop of one of Cheshire’s most beautiful homes.
