Originally built in 1856, Old Down Manor is nestled in the heart of a 66-acre country park and has been beautifully refurbished to become the 5* Wedding venue it is today. The Manor house and its grounds offer a stunning backdrop with panoramic views of the River Severn and its bridges, and over into the rolling Welsh hills.
Alternatively, with its exposed beams, stone walls, flagstone floor and open fires, The Barn at Old Down Estate is the perfect place to hold an unforgettable rustic wedding.
And because we want you to share your wedding day with those you love, our venues are exclusively yours for your big day.
Old Down Estate has great links to the M4/M5 motorways and Bristol city centre.
The Manor at Old Down Estate
After your guests have driven through your exclusive wedding gates, down a tree-lined avenue to your private car park, they can enjoy an arrival drink on our manicured lawn whilst taking in the beauty of the views across the Severn.
The ceremony itself can take place in several rooms within the Manor. You may choose to take advantage of the views by saying 'I do' in the Orangery or Bernays, both with floor to ceiling windows. Or maybe you’ll opt for drama and choose to marry in our vaulted atrium with it’s grand sweeping staircase.
Once seated for your wedding breakfast in the Orangery you will enjoy exquisite cuisine, lovingly prepared by our talented kitchen. Our cosy library is the perfect place to enjoy tea and coffee, perfect for those guests who need to rest their feet.
Ready to party? Your evening entertainment will take place in Bernays where you can party the night away or at least until last orders are called at the bar at 12.30am.
Not ready to stop partying? Take advantage of our extended license in our secret cellar night club.
After all of this, you and your guests can unwind in one of thirteen beautifully appointed rooms, each with lavish decor and chandeliers, waking up to share an intimate breakfast with the ones you love as all of our rooms are on a bed and breakfast basis. This is when you can take advantage or our indoor heated pool.
