Lovely article by the Burnley Express about our super Dave Knowles being crowned Best Toastmaster at this year's North West Wedding Awards, and our brilliant Weddings Manager Danielle making it to the final for an incredible fourth year in a row! ❤️

We love it when our couples incorporate old wedding traditions into their special day, including this one - Throwing the bouquet! 💐😊

This ancient custom dates back hundreds of years and is a fun way to entertain your guests and create some great pictures!

Traditionally, the bride will face away from a group of friends and family, before throwing the bouquet behind her, with the idea being that the one who catches it will be the next down the aisle!

Would you have a bouquet throw at your wedding? Tag who you think would catch it! 😄

"We got married at Stirk House last week, and we could not be happier that we did.

I think it's fair to say we were both a little bit nervous in the run up to the day, but knowing the amazing weddings team at Stirk House were there throughout the whole process to answer any questions massively put us at ease.

On the day itself, we didn't have anything to think about at all. We felt absolutely safe in the knowledge the team had everything taken care of, and we were not disappointed!

From the morning getting ready, to the extra little touches provided throughout the day, to the evening reception. It was all perfect and we cannot explain how much fun we had.

Obviously a special shout out has to go to Dave for the day of the wedding, he is absolutely incredible at what he does, and knows exactly how to get everyone involved.

All we can say is we cannot recommend Stirk House and the whole team more, and we are absolutely BUZZING that we were lucky enough to celebrate our special day here! X"

Thank you so much to James & Laura for such an amazing review! We wish you both all the happiness in the world and hope to see you again soon ❤️

"We had our wedding at the beautiful Stirk House Hotel just a few weeks ago; the wedding team were absolutely amazing with us and were with us every step of the way.

We stayed over with our parties the night before and the rooms were stunning with gorgeous views of scenery surrounding the hotel grounds, the staff couldn’t do enough for us and we felt at ease the minute we got there.

On the morning of the wedding the team helped us with absolutely everything and made the day everything we could have wanted and more, we also had Dave as our Master of Ceremonies and all of our guests commented on just how hilarious he was.

We stopped in the bridal suite the night of the wedding and it was so beautiful. We loved every second of it all and couldn’t thank the staff enough for everything they did. We will definitely be back."

Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Watson and thank you so much for taking the time to send us this lovely review! We hope to see you both again soon! 🥰

"If you're considering a venue for a wedding, look no further than Stirk House. I recently had the pleasure of celebrating a friend's wedding there, and it was nothing short of fabulous.

The attention to detail and the care taken to ensure the day was special were second to none. From the beautifully decorated reception areas to the stunning views, every aspect of the venue contributed to making the day memorable.

The staff were attentive and accommodating, ensuring that every guest felt welcome and well taken care of. Whether it was the seamless coordination of the ceremony or the tasty meal, Stirk House Hotel excelled in every area.

The Stirk House Story

With ivy clad walls standing for nearly 400 years and a crackling fireplace welcoming guests since 1933, Stirk House offers contemporary luxury in truly historic surroundings. We are passionate about supporting the local community, protecting our stunning surroundings and exceeding customer expectations with little added touches of luxury...

A little about our history...

1635 - Stirk House was built using stonework from the former Sawley Abbey, dismantled a century earlier during Henry VIII’s dissolution of the monasteries.

1800 - The house, known as Grange Moor Manor at the time, is bought by London financier Alec Omerod, as a country base for social gatherings and wild parties in the country.
