About
Ours is a wedding venue 1000 years in the making. Grade I listed, located discreetly in the picture-perfect village of Askham, nestled in a dreamy, tranquil corner of the English Lake District
Askham Hall and Bank Barn is an exciting new style of a country house hotel and wedding venue for Cumbria and the Lake District.
Cumbria Tourism's Wedding Venue of the Year 2022! Located just a few miles from Penrith, England, Askham Hall and Bank Barn provides the modern country house and barn wedding venue combo you’ve been looking for. Situated along the edge of the beautiful Lake District National Park in Cumbria, the venue is suitable for celebrations of all sizes and styles. It offers a luxurious, intimate and relaxed place in which to say “I do”.
Askham Hall is licensed for civil ceremonies in the Grade II listed barn, the 16th century Medieval Hall and the Grade I listed manor house. If the weather is on your side, the outdoor garden pavilion is also available for tying the knot. For a traditional ceremony, St. Peters Church and St. Michael’s Church are just a short distance away. On the venue's grounds, the Bank Barn has been beautifully restored to welcome you and your loved ones. It boasts original features, such as bare stone walls and a beamed oak ceiling, mixed with contemporary décor. Seating up to 150 guests, it is a fantastic setting for a wedding in every season. The cosier 16th century Medieval Hall is perfect for mid-week minimonies.
Askham Hall is the home of Allium, a Michelin-Starred restaurant located within the manor house. This restaurant also holds four AA rosettes for both its menu and wine list. It can accommodate 30 people and is best for small wedding breakfasts. In addition, the hotel asks that you spend two nights minimum if you are holding your nuptials here. This means that you will have the entire day beforehand to set up your wedding perfectly with the help of the dedicated events team.
19 luxurious bedrooms will be at your disposal, and 11 rooms at the venue's sister country inn, George and Dragon, Clifton. In addition, The Queen's Head is a charming inn with 6 bedrooms, located in the village of Askham.

Reviews
“Thanks again for everything. We spent the whole time during our honeymoon just reminiscing about the wedding and how amazing it was! It really was the best day of our lives and you guys worked so hard – the food was amazing, the service was excellent and the hall, gardens and barn were just perfect. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.”
Amazing wedding venue. My husband and I got married here and along with the wedding party stayed over the night before for a meal. The food on both the wedding day and the Friday night meal was incredible. The staff are also so friendly and professional, the whole team at Askham Hall surpassed our expectations in every way. Such an amazing venue, beautifully decorated, with a great mix of history and modern interior design.”
”We just wanted to say thank you for all your efforts in making our wedding so special, we had a wonderful day. Everything seemed to run incredibly smoothy on the day and throughout the planning due to all your team’s hard work. So thanks for making the day stress-free! All of our guests were really impressed by your service and the venue too. Hopefully, see you when we come back for a visit!” October 2015
