Bartle Hall Wedding Venue: A Lancashire Guide
Bartle Hall wedding venue is a Grade II listed country house set in sixteen acres of Lancashire countryside near Preston. It has welcomed weddings for over twenty years. The venue has grown to include a beautifully restored Coaching Barn alongside the original Manor House. Here is why Bartle Hall deserves a place on your shortlist.
A Grade II Listed Country House
Parts of Bartle Hall date back centuries, with the house itself Grade II listed. The owners beautifully refurbished the building in 2011, then added further bedroom extensions in 2015 and 2018. Today it blends its original character with modern comforts throughout.
Manor House, Coaching Barn or the Grounds
One of the best things about Bartle Hall is the choice it gives you. You can marry in the Manor House, the Coaching Barn or the purpose-built ceremony area in the grounds. For example, ivy-covered walkways and manicured lawns give you plenty of beautiful spots for photographs, whatever setting you choose.
A Ceremony Room Full of Character
Simple, elegant styling gives the ceremony room at Bartle Hall real charm, with a wreath over the fireplace and rows of chairs finished in whatever colour suits your day. Large windows also let in plenty of natural light, so it makes a lovely space to photograph in.
Getting Ready in Style
Bartle Hall’s interiors are just as photogenic as its ceremony spaces. A grand staircase beneath a striking chandelier makes a stunning backdrop for bridal portraits. Meanwhile, the get-ready suites come with monogrammed robes and thoughtful details throughout.
A Reception Built for Celebrating
Once the ceremony is done, Bartle Hall’s reception spaces are ready to take over. Long tables dressed with candles and greenery, a well-stocked bar and a dance floor that lights up after dark all help keep the celebrations going long into the evening.
Small Details, Big Impact
It is often the small details that make a wedding feel personal. Overall, Bartle Hall gives you plenty of opportunities to add them, from personalised cake signs to thoughtful flavour boards and carefully chosen decor.
