This charming setting offers secluded, romantic spaces where you and your partner can say, “I do.” You, your loved ones and your furry friends are assured a memorable experience from start to finish. All assembled can marvel at the function room with its arched glass atrium, wooden beams, exposed brickwork and an array of natural light. The area provides ample room for your desired seating arrangement transforming it into the reception space of your dreams. If you find yourselves enchanted by the property’s exterior and blossoming views, you may gather your guests outside for a Champagne drinks reception across the spacious lawn. Whether you’re celebrating inside or out, this venue and its team can help you to make every moment count. Exchange your vows and celebrate in style in the Atrium. The centrepiece of the Bluebell is this large glass atrium spanning the centre of the site and seating up to 100 for ceremonies and celebrations. French doors lead out onto the lawn from here, meaning you can also wed al fresco or go even bigger with your reception and invite as many guests as you wish, utilising this outside space and marquee area. What’s more, the Bluebell has its own pub where you can celebrate with your nearest and dearest, bring your own drinks, or hire a specialist bar to cater for your needs. THE HIGHFIELD HOUSE 01377 256 231 | www.thehighfieldhouse.com Highfield House is a stunning 19th-century country manor with striking half-timbered black and white architecture, set in eight acres of glorious gardens, grounds and woodland. Built in 1864 and reimagined in 2022 by husband and wife team Andy and Lindsey Lampard, Highfield has kept the striking period features while adding a fresh, contemporary twist to create the perfect balance of heritage and modern style. Ceremonies take place in The Great Hall. Despite being decorated to enhance its grandeur, it still manages to maintain a beautiful atmosphere of intimacy and can accommodate 60 of your nearest and dearest. Features include a large stone fireplace, tall ceilings with chandeliers, a large seated window overlooking the gardens and an overall sense of light and airiness. The Great Hall can also host your reception for the same number of guests. Transformed from the ceremony setup, it makes for a fantastic private dining experience or evening dance hall. Guests can mingle downstairs with drinks and canapés while the experienced team turn the room around according to your vision. Alternatively, you might choose The Drawing Room, with space for 84 guests. The space dates back to 1864 and offers the most inspiring views of the grounds. With doors leading out to the upper terrace, you’ll find yourself surrounded by the sights, scents and flavours of kitchen gardens and ancient woodlands. Heritage designs and artistic details tell stories of provenance and history, which are then carefully balanced with simple contemporary styling. The venue also offers a variety of exciting extras to choose from such as accommodation, dining in the restaurant, private dining on request, a free three-course tasting menu for the two of you, wellbeing treatments, a personalised cocktail menu and a wedding coordinator. www.emiliakatephotography.co.uk www.emiliakatephotography.co.uk 16
