Welcome

Ceremonies indoors and out

A family-owned Georgian manor house on the outskirts of Basingstoke, where weddings range from intimate gatherings to dry-hire cultural celebrations in the grounds.

Eight wedding spaces are licensed for ceremonies and partnerships, and couples can choose indoors or out. The oak-framed Woodland Pavilion is the outdoor option, with large arching oak beams framing the scene. Indoors there are the Garden Suite, the Library, the Steventon, the Winchester and the Garden Room. The Steventon is on the first floor, with three large south-facing windows over the grounds and woodland. The Garden Suite has French doors that lead directly onto the Garden Terrace. A partition turns the Garden Suite into the Garden Room for lower guest numbers, and the Winchester sits on the other side of that partition, in a more intimate setting.

Receptions

Receptions and the evening

After the ceremony, couples and guests celebrate with drinks and canapés and explore the grounds for portraits and group photographs. The Garden Suite combines contemporary elegance with 18th-century grandeur. For the wedding breakfast, the Library and the Garden Room suit more intimate meals, while the Garden Suite or the Garden Pavilion suit larger ones. The Garden Pavilion is a separate, modern space with its own bar, kitchen and terrace, a state-of-the-art sound system and lighting.
