Prested Hall

Prested Hall is a country manor house dating back to the 15th-century, featuring a beautiful tree-lined drive surrounded by 75 acres of parkland, with the remains of the original moat to the rear of the building. The interior oozes charm and history with Art Deco touches. Comfy sofas in the lounge and library areas are perfect for relaxing in the midst of celebrations and stylish boutique bedrooms have lots of original features. The venue’s grounds boast well-tended lawns and floral borders while in the summer wisteria climbs the walls of the Hall.

Large ceremonies with a guest list of up to 140 people can be accommodated in the imposing Orangery, with doors leading out on to a decking area beside the moat.

The Garden room is light and airy and suitable for up to 85 witnesses to the ceremony, and can host evening receptions of 35 loved ones. The Oak Room is a more intimate room to tie the knot in front of 60 of your nearest and dearest. Or between May and September the elegant, purpose-built marquee can host 140 evening revellers. Finally the al fresco gazebo is a simply stunning setting for weddings of any size.

We love... that all bridal couples are invited to a food tasting evening to enjoy a complimentary three-course dinner.
