COBHAM HALL 01474 823 371| www.cobhamhall.com/venue-hire Surrounded by 150 acres of parkland, once landscaped by Humphry Repton, on approach the historic Cobham Hall emerges from the trees and is one of England’s finest historic country houses. Over the centuries distinguished people have spent time at Cobham, Elizabeth I visited and Charles I spent a night of his honeymoon at the hall; while Charles Dickens often passed through the park and stopped to visit his friend the Earl of Darnley! Sir Joshua Reynolds, Gainsborough, The Duke of Wellington, George VI, Queen Victoria, Nellie Melba and many others were guests. Now a wedding venue and an independent school, this is your opportunity to add your name to its prestigious list of visitors. Did you know that Cobham Hall was the original home of The Ashes and a key part of cricket history? The Ashes took pride of place on the mantelpiece of what is now known as The Old Library. Whilst it is used almost universally in media coverage of test cricket between England and Melbourne, for many, the urn is a symbol for the romantic love story between the 8th Earl of Darnley and the charming girl from Melbourne. Only 28 miles from central London and within easy reach of the A2, M2, M20 and M25 Cobham Hall is perfectly situated close to all major road networks while enjoying a picturesque and tranquil setting. Offering both indoor and outdoor ceremony options for couples looking to tie the knot here, Cobham can also host your wedding breakfast and evening entertainment meaning your wedding day can take place all under one roof!
