We held our wedding here only a week ago. It was unbelievable! The grounds are beyond beautiful. The cottages are a home away from home. The lake is literally on the door step and we made the most of it. The dining room / barn is so beautiful it doesn’t really need decorating. The staff are incredibly friendly special mentions to Val & Callum. Huge thank you to all involved.
WOW, there are no words! We booked the TH for our wedding whilst it was a building site, why you say? Because we had every faith in Cheryl’s vision of the final product! We 100% made the right decision! We had originally booked to have our ceremony in the boat house on lake Windermere but on the morning of the wedding it was raining and I mean RAINING! Cheryl asked me due to this and the walk down to the boathouse would we like our ceremony in the barn. We are truly thankful of this offer as it ended up being perfect! Even thinking about it now makes me emotional at how amazing it was. The stone walls of the building and adjoining to our reception area along with the gorgeous ambience of the lighting made it truly romantic! Even though the rain was non stop all day we feel it added to the vibe of our boho relaxed wedding and the photos are truly stunning.
Tanya was our planner for the day and nothing was too big nor small of an ask! She did a wonderful job running around making sure everything was just perfect! If we could marry here again we would in a heartbeat and I truly hope one day we can renew our wedding at this gorgeous estate! Before the wedding when locals asked where we were getting married they stated it as the ‘new and exclusive’ place to get married and they were so right! Also if we had known how gorgeous the bridal cottage would end up being we would of booked to stay here too as it’s stunning, the attention to detail has the true wow factor and the bridal suite for getting ready was divine! Thank you all at TH for giving us the intimate wedding we had dreamt of!
Such a beautiful venue with amazing accommodation. The best I’ve seen in the area by far! Memories are made here.
I got married here and it was beyond perfect. The venue, setting, staff and even value for money were all 11/10 and I couldn’t recommend them enough.
When we looked at Town Head Estate last year as a possible wedding venue, it was still very much a building site. But we instantly fell in love with the location and the ability for guests to sleep there, having access to lake Windermere for a swim, gorgeous land which can be used in so many different ways and a really romantic greenhouse. Cheryl showed us around and explained all of her ideas for the place – from the bridal suite to the hot tubs and a jetty by the lake. She had it completely figured out. In the end it was clear for us that Town Head was it!
We were lucky enough to get a weekend booking and our wedding took place in September ’21 with the venue exactly how it had been described to us. The beautiful ceremony barn, the on-site accommodation, the boathouse, the bar and everything else was perfect.
Throughout the planning process, Cheryl has been extremely patient, friendly and helpful, making sure we felt comfortable with everything she did. I think we may have won the prize for asking the most questions in the lead up – but to every question, Cheryl had an answer or a solution (i.e. plans for rain, sign for ceremony music to start, where to best serve cocktails, the list goes on). She also put us in touch with other suppliers and was genuinely a great sound board for the plans we had in mind. This really put us at ease and we felt relaxed and excited when the weekend finally came.
The day ran smoothly with the help of Cheryl and the team who were there to make sure everything was going well, which was hugely appreciated.
All in all, we 100% recommend this venue which, due to the lovely owners, amazing location and perfectly renovated barns/accommodation – the ideal place to get married!
What a perfect venue! Cheryl and David have done an absolutely amazing job renovating the estate into the amazing venue it is now. When we first viewed the venue in September 2020, it was a building site, with no floors and was basically a shell. It was a bit of a gamble, but it really paid off! The finish of the barn and all the accommodation is very high end. We loved the flexibility of the venue, with a number of options of how a wedding could be run from using the barn / hiring a marquee / using the boathouse and getting married outside. The grounds were a big selling point for us with Town Head having large grounds and even its own private beach overlooking Lake Windermere.
This allowed us to have a wedding morning swim in the lake with our guests and get married outside overlooking the shores of Lake Windermere. We also managed to have an activity day with our guests the day after the wedding, with yoga in the boathouse and watersports (we hired ourselves) on the lake.
It was brilliant to be able to have all our close family staying on site allowing us to spend more time with them before, during and after the wedding and an accessible room for my grandparents. Cheryl and her second in command Nessa could not have been more helpful before, on and after the big day! Thank you everyone at Town Head Estate for making our wedding day so special and memorable.
My son and daughter-in-law recently held their wedding here, it was such a stunning venue with the hosts doing everything they could to see that it all went smoothly, nothing was too much trouble. The accommodation is so well equipped and beautifully decorated it was a delight to stay there. I highly recommend this venue and I’m sure that whatever occasion you are there for, you will not be disappointed. Thank you again.
I can’t recommend Town Head enough for anyone looking for a beautiful place to get married! We had our wedding here in September 2021 and it was absolutely perfect. The barn, the grounds and the accommodation are all gorgeous and have been so well thought through. And the team at Town Head are incredible, nothing is too much to ask for and made our day run so smoothly. We loved having the place to ourselves Friday – Sunday, it really made it feel like a little wedding village and there’s so many options if you want to use the hot tubs, go for a boat trip or water sports to make your weekend a bit different! I wish we could get married every year just so we could come back for a weekend, we loved it that much! Cheryl and Team Town Head – thank you again, you’ve honestly created the most beautiful venue.
There is no need to hire furniture - we have a choice of round tables or rustic trestles, with oak cross backed chairs. We also have a cable drum which looks beautiful as a cake table, and a restored sewing table for the registrars. The lounge and bar area are fully furnished, and we have beautiful outdoor seating for the terrace too. All our furniture is included in your venue hire. However, if you have a specific style in mind you are welcome to hire your own externally.
All on-site accommodation comes complete with fully equipped kitchen facilities.
For your wedding celebration in the Wedding Barn, we will provide all glassware, wine coolers and water jugs, but you should speak to Karen Rhodes Catering about everything else, such as crockery, linen, a knife to cut the cake etc.
Yes we do, and yes it can. The bar is fully licensed, opening at a time to suit you on your wedding day (no earlier than 11am) and closing at midnight. We are also happy to open the bar the night before the wedding for you and your guests by prior arrangement, we would just ask that you give us at least 2 weeks' notice so that we can arrange appropriate staffing.
We have a fully stocked bar and a really good wine list. Our prices are competitive and we're happy to discuss drinks packages to suit you. We are also happy to try and source anything specific that you would like that isn't on our wine list.
That said, wine and fizz are personal choices and people like what they like. Therefore, you are able to bring your own wine and fizz for the drinks reception and/or the wedding breakfast, subject to a corkage charge of £5 per bottle of wine, £10 per bottle of prosecco and £15 per bottle of champagne.
Quantities are limited to two glasses of fizz per person for the drinks reception, one glass of fizz per person for the toast and half a bottle of wine per person for the wedding breakfast. We will run the Town Head bar alongside throughout the day.
We've taken a LOT of advice on this to make sure we get it absolutely right. If we cover the Barn in fairy lights, and fairy lights are not your thing, then we've cramped your style before you've even started decorating. So, we're gone for a subtle approach. We've lit the walls, we've lit the beams, and we'll leave the fun stuff to you.
That said, we have installed RBG lights in the ceiling so you can actually light the ceiling any colour you wish (including white), or have it scrolling through the colour wheel for the full party effect. There are lots of power points hidden away up in the beams where you can't see them, and a wire running around the walls to attach decorations to, but other than that we'll leave it to you to create your perfect backdrop.
The Barn is beautiful left just as it is, but you may well have some amazing ideas to really make the space your own.
Yes you can. Outdoor ceremonies are currently permitted under UK law (although these rules may be amended) providing the venue is licensed and has nominated specific areas that fall within that license.
The outdoor areas that currently fall under our wedding license are: The Terrace outside the Barn, the Orchard and the Band Stand, the Kitchen Gardens, the Croquet Lawn, the lake shore and the marquee pitch.
