Your East Anglian Wedding - Page number 23 - August/September 2021 (Issue 50)

MANNINGTON ESTATE, NORWICH 01263 584 175 | www.manningtongardens.co.uk This hidden gem is located in an idyllic spot 20 miles north of Norwich and eight miles from the coast, nestled in beautiful rural surroundings. The gardens and moat provide a picture-picture setting with the impressive Medieval hall in the background. The hall is still a family home today and, although you can’t marry here, there’s plenty of space in the grounds for a magical marquee reception or you can hire the tearooms for a more intimate celebration. WE LOVE… the moat and wonderful natural surroundings. HOLMEWOOD HALL, HOLME 01487 829 555 | www.holmewood-hall.co.uk Nestled in a picture-perfect location at the gateway to the Fens, this historic Cambridgeshire venue is a jewel in the region’s crown. The majestic Tudor Gothic-style mansion is surrounded by parkland and glorious gardens including a manicured croquet lawn. With fabulous views across the lake and countryside beyond, it’s a photographer’s dream. The mansion is a treasure-trove of delights, full of character, charm and period pieces it offers the perfect mix of style, elegance and comfort. The Great Hall never fails to impress with its original wood panelling and staircase. Step through the double doors at the top, on to the rear balcony and you can pose for just-wed shots while looking down on your guests below. The library has a quirky window seat overlooking the grounds and every reception room boasts its own welcoming style. The magnificent Gold Room, with its impressive aisle and 18-carat gold ceiling provides a wow-factor setting for your ’I dos’ and can seat up to 77 people, or you can marry in the dining room overlooking the lake.
