Our house is the most gorgeous blank canvas for weddings. Grand yet homely, classic yet quirky :) We are not a Manor, Hall or Castle.
(241)
We are not a Barn, Hotel or Estate, we are ASHFIELD HOUSE. When couples take over exclusively for their wedding day, our house becomes like their home and we become like their extended family! Our house is a gorgeous blank canvas for weddings, it is grand yet homely and is jam packed full of quirky details (old and new) yet somehow manages to soak up the personality of each couple. The atmosphere
here is full of love and joy, probably because of the absolute legends that make up our wedding team, busy doing their dream job day in day out! Our house and our team are laid back, fun, creative and wild – but not so hipster your Nan wont approve! We are not normal… being an independent family business means we let couples do their thing without a load of rules getting in the way. We love drinking coffee and brainstorming about how to make weddings awesome – and with a layout designed specifically for weddings, mind blowing in house catering and 15 guest bedrooms we really do ace it. We can host 120 guests for a ceremony and sit down dinner and up to 220 for evening receptions
Shameless brag, we’ve won the UK’s best venue (town/city) 2017, 2018 and 2019 and for 2020 we are living the dream as judges! 13 awards in 3 years can't be wrong! We never stop evolving, much like Madonna Queen of Reinvention, we close each year to redecorate, renovate and populate our house with very lovely new things. We’re chuffed our page has found its way to you but fear not, if we aren’t your cup of tea (or the cracker to your cheese) we wont be doing the hard sell. Although lets be honest, you’d be crazy not to at least come for a nosey, right?
We love a good shindig and honestly we think we have THE best space to do it in. The bar, seating and DJ are different zones of the same space, this holy grail of layouts means guests won't be scattered all over the house (unless you want to spread out or have an outrageous number of party-goers!). 🥳

Happy Father's Day! ✨

We won!!!
great northern wedding awards 2024. Best venue (town/city).
Here’s a massive THANK YOU to our whole team, we do this job together 🥰
🎉🎉🎉
"You fulfilled Chris’ dream of no boring dry chicken like most weddings and have again received so many compliments of the food. Maybe slightly explicit but as one guest said… “I would do dirty things for this beef - you don’t even wanna know how raunchy”."
- Olivia & Chris
Well, *blushing*, that's put new meaning to the phrase 'food p**n' 🙈 We are pretty proud of our food, it's delicious and it's great to hear feedback from our Happy Couples.
We think staying over at Ashfield House is a bit special, we have 15 charming bedrooms upstairs each one has a personality of its own, some sassy ones, some classy ones and some quirky ones but they all come with everything our house guests need for a comfy stay - to rest those party feet!
And every overnight stay includes a big cooked breakfast and copious amounts of freshly ground coffee, where our guests tend to share the stories and laughs from the night before.
Getting married is arguably the most important part of your big day and it deserves a spectacular space! ✨
Our Ceremony Room is the most exciting blank canvas. It has wonderful power to adapt itself to any kind of theme or colour scheme, traditional or contemporary, rustic or polished, or maybe even a bit of everything!

At yesterdays Open House yesterday, did we…
a) Setup a fake BBQ board food table to help a couple choose centre peices.
b) Put up a guest bed to check how comfy they are
