Set in six acres of glorious Cotswold countryside, including their own orchard, vineyard and vegetable garden, The multi-award winning Holford Arms is a 16th-century coaching inn bursting with rural charm.
On the Wiltshire/Gloucestershire border, sitting between the market town of Tetbury and the pretty village of Didmarton, The Holford Arms is a stone’s throw from Westonbirt Arboretum and Highgrove, and just a 45-minute drive from Bristol. The Holford Arms is the perfect, unique wedding venue for an unforgettable experience in a beautiful setting!
When it comes to hosting bohemian, festival-style weddings, The Holford Arms know exactly what they’re doing. With years of experience and an events team, they will work with you to create your perfect day in the most idyllic of settings. They know just how special your wedding is to you, which is why you get exclusivity of the “glampsite” from Thursday to Sunday, making your wedding a weekend to remember.
Most couples choose the Thursday to start decorating and to get settled in. Friday is spent chilling and enjoying good food and drinks with those special loved ones. Saturday is the important one, the celebrating one and the partying one, whilst Sunday is for wishing farewells and happy ever afters.
Want everyone to be able to stay on-site with you for the duration? That’s no problem! With their 6 cosy bed and breakfast rooms, 5 luxury en-suite chalets, 4 permanent bell tents and huge campsite, everyone will be able to stay for as long as they please. They can even erect a bell tent village for all of your glamping dreams.
Their dedicated and talented chef will look after you on the day of your wedding, and you will have the choice to create a bespoke menu. From three-course meals to their famous Holford BBQ experience, to Thai cuisine buffets, to festival-style street food, there’s really not much they can’t do!
The Holford team is more like a family and will endeavour to help you create the wedding weekend of your dreams. From lighting the campfire in the evenings to helping you decorate the outside bar to making sure you always have everything you need. So, if you’re looking for a wedding venue where you won’t feel rushed, where you can have endless fun and have all of your family and friends close for the whole weekend, then this is for you!
Guys!! Thank you SO much for creating the best wedding ever, it was even better than we could have ever imagine! Our friends and family haven’t stopped complimenting The Holford Arms – everyone wants to come back already. I think we knew as soon as we viewed that this was the place for us – our festival style wedding is going to be remembered by everyone! We want to do it all over again!
I just wanted to say a massive thank you. You really did strive to make our wedding day such a memorable occasion. We have had endless comments about how good the food was, and the service was impeccable; being attentive but not too much!!! Which is so important. The day flowed brilliantly. Victoria and the whole team combined to make it a very slick but totally relaxed event. We can’t thank you enough; I only wish you and the team every success for the future.

Just a really short note to say a massive “thank you” for hosting our wedding weekend. We couldn’t have asked for a better day, and had so many fabulous comments on the venue and the food. I know a massive amount of effort went in to running the day, and we are very appreciative of the whole team.

To Pete, Tor & Family and The Holford Arms Crew, one year on from our perfect wedding weekender at the Holford Arms. It has been a crazy year but we are so glad to be back celebrating at our favourite place in the world. Thank you so so much for everything you all did to make our wedding so special! It truly was perfect!
We recently had our wedding at the Holford Arms and had a fantastic experience—from our very first visit back in 2021 to the big weekend two years later. The owners, Pete and Tor, were always really warm, hospitable, and accommodating—they made the whole process of having to postpone the wedding due to the pandemic painless. Unlike some wedding venues (which we found to be a bit prescriptive in terms of schedule/food/use of the venue, etc.), there was plenty of flexibility, so we could choose our menu and have all the little details we wanted. As a wedding venue, it has a lovely, relaxed, and rustic feel, and there are various spaces to use throughout the day. The campsite and grounds are lovely—they were the perfect backdrop for our festival-y-themed glamping weekend. During the lockdowns, they worked hard to finish their gorgeous cabins (which our guests liked) and the impressive barn. The weekend itself was so wonderful, and all the staff were great—professional and friendly, with lots of great banter. They were really helpful and attentive throughout—my glass was never empty! We made a few trips back and forth while planning the wedding and really enjoyed their Sunday roasts and fab wine-tasting session. Overall, it was the perfect location for the happiest weekend of our lives. We’ll definitely be back to reminisce over more Sunday roasts!

I have never left a review in my life but couldn’t not do a big shout out to Tor and Pete who gave us the happiest wedding weekend imaginable. From the moment our family and friends arrived on Friday to when we all left in a happy daze on Sunday, it was just the best. Having everyone on site together for three days was really special; from our (fairly unique!!) ceremony to the dinner, the vibe, the staff and the dancing, we couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you to you all.
