THURNING HALL, THURNING 01263 587 384 | www.thurninghall.co.uk Picture your day in a grand old house in the country? Then look no further, Thurning Hall is a Georgian mansion full of warmth and original character. The interior reflects its rich past from the original stone floors and oak carved pillars to the embellished marble fireplaces. You can tie the knot in the south-facing Drawing Room or have a duo ceremony and take your pick of romantic spots on the lawn outside the house or in the walled garden. Set in six acres of informal, cottage-style gardens and a further 13 acres of meadows, the house is surrounded by unspoilt views of the Norfolk landscape. Discover a magical mix of wonderfully whimsical and romantic informal secret walled rose gardens, woodland and grass parkland leading to a small lake. The largest of the gardens offers the ideal space for marquee receptions with up to 250 people. For more intimate affairs, the Stable and Coach House offers a unique and quirky setting for receptions all year round. We love... the ever-changing seasonal gardens and Gothic period features for stunning big-day photos.
