Two Beautifully Licensed Ceremony Spaces
At the Lion House, couples can choose between two licensed ceremony spaces to suit their style and guest list. The Lion’s Den is ideal for smaller gatherings of up to 30 guests, offering a cosy, stylish environment for exchanging vows in front of your loved ones.
For larger celebrations, the Grand Hall can accommodate up to 150 guests and features a striking glass wall overlooking the private gardens, allowing natural summer light to flood the room and create a bright, elegant atmosphere. After the ceremony, guests can enjoy reception drinks in the stylish Long Bar whilst the couple takes time for photographs.
Exquisite Reception Dining
Exquisite dining is a key element of any Lion House wedding. Our skilled chefs create seasonal, summer menus using the freshest locally sourced ingredients, ensuring every dish looks and tastes incredible. Whether you choose a formal three-course wedding breakfast in the Grand Hall or a more relaxed, alfresco dining experience in our gardens, every meal is created to impress. Couples can personalise menus to suit their tastes, offering guests a range of options to enjoy.
Celebrate in Style in the Stunning Sunlit Gardens
The Lion House’s private gardens are the perfect setting for a summer wedding, offering a bright and vibrant backdrop for photographs, drinks receptions, and outdoor celebrations.
