Historic vows Bramall Hall in Stockport, Greater Manchester, is currently undergoing restoration work. The charming black-and-white timber-framed Tudor manor house, set within 70 acres of parkland, is having repairs carried out to protect the Hall and its irreplaceable collections from further damage caused by water leaks. Bramall Hall is a beautiful wedding venue, featuring traditional stainedglass windows and stone-flagged flooring. Ceremonies take place in front of an impressive fireplace, which looks stunning in photographs. The space can accommodate up to 75 guests for a civil ceremony, or up to 60 guests for a ceremony combined with a wedding breakfast.

WILDLIFE WELLNESS The award-winning Armathwaite Hall Hotel & Spa in the Lake District has launched a new wellness programme that brings together the therapeutic benefits of animal interaction with luxury spa treatments. The new Herdy Half Spa Day Package combines a 30-minute meet-and-greet with the hotel’s friendly animals at its on-site Wildlife Park, including the beloved Herdwick sheep, Hebridean sheep, dwarf zebu and alpacas, followed by a two-course lunch and two hours of access to the hotel’s spa facilities. Lorela Movileanu, the spa manager at Armathwaite Hall, explains: “We’ve long understood the powerful connection between spending time with animals and improved mental wellbeing. In an era where stress and anxiety have become increasingly prevalent, research shows that animal interaction can significantly reduce stress levels, lower blood pressure and promote feelings of calm. By pairing this with our tranquil spa environment and the natural beauty of the Lake District, we’re offering guests a complete reset for both mind and body.” To find out more, visit armathwaite-hall.com NEWS Nearlywed Catch up on news from around the North West emmabillsborough.com 6
