NEWSTEAD ABBEY 01158 763 100 | www.newsteadabbey.org.uk/weddings Nestled in 300 acres of parkland, Newstead Abbey provides the perfect setting for memorable weddings. Steeped in more than 800 years of history, the monastic Abbey dates back to the late 12th-century and was a former home to romantic poet Lord Byron, who was inspired by its Medieval character. Couples can take a relaxed stroll through the stunning gardens home to waterfalls, serene lakes and floral displays that provide the perfect backdrop to wedding photography. The historic neutral rooms around the property allow any colour scheme or theme to shine. Say “I do” in The Orangery, which was initially the south transept of the priory church and was named by the Byron Family, who originally converted the space to grow citrus fruits. Today, the area showcases original features and beautiful large windows that offer stunning views across the Spanish Gardens. Nestled in the historic Cloisters is the original 13th-century Chapel, an ideal location for religious ceremonies. When lovebirds book the venue’s Full Wedding Hire Package, both of these spaces can host up to 70 people. For larger guest lists, The Orangery can accommodate up to 100day guests when pairs book the Ceremony & Pre-Reception Package. Continue the celebrations in The West Front Suite, a charming room with excellent acoustics for speeches and live music. The historical setting is ideal for wedding breakfasts with 70 guests and 120 in the evenings. The Cannon Fort Bar Room offers sunset views of the Upper Lake. Nearlyweds can hire a marquee for wedding receptions with 1,000 people on The Byron’s Lawn in the Formal Gardens. Or if lovebirds are after festival-style weddings with tipis, live music and overnight camping accommodation, the Paradise Field to the rear of the property is a great option. Located in a tranquil area of the Formal Gardens, couples can book The Gardeners Cottage on their wedding night and revisit to celebrate special occasions in future years. www.arj-photo.co.uk 18
