Holmes Mill stands proudly in the heart of Clitheroe, Lancashire. It is a former textile mill beautifully restored to blend heritage with modern luxury. Guests are welcomed by the striking mix of exposed materials and period features, which offers a unique atmosphere. The surrounding Ribble Valley provides a scenic backdrop, adding to the venue’s distinctive character.

Flooded with natural light, the Cotton Room is a perfect setting for a civil ceremony. With a seating capacity of up to 150, couples can choose from reclaimed cinema seats, traditional Chiavari chairs, or modern ghost chairs. The space radiates elegance while offering flexibility to match any theme, making it an ideal choice for a memorable ceremony.

Reception

For the wedding breakfast, couples can choose between the Bar & Grill and the Cotton Room. The Bar & Grill’s glamorous interior contrasts beautifully with the mill’s industrial chic, offering a sophisticated dining setting. The spacious Cotton Room, with its combination of exposed brick and modern touches, is a versatile choice for both intimate meals and lively celebrations.

The Spinning Block Hotel, the oldest part of the mill, provides a range of rooms from cosy doubles to luxurious suites. The hotel offers a relaxed yet refined experience, with its 39 individually designed bedrooms ensuring comfort for all guests. The Penthouse, often chosen by newlyweds, offers an exceptional retreat for the couple’s first night.

A huge thank you to everyone at Holmes Mill, we had an absolutely amazing day and the organisation of it all was fantastic. We really did feel completely taken care of.

Matt & Jo

Thank you to all at Holmes Mill for making our wedding run so smoothly. We had a great day and night and everything went as well as it could have done. I wanted to especially mention Lou for keeping me calm and guiding me and Sarah throughout the day, and Tom for being there for whatever we needed during the evening. Both of them facilitated our needs with no question, no matter how big or small. I think the venue is an amazing place for a wedding and would recommend it to anyone!

Simon & Sarah

A huge thank you for absolutely everything that Holmes Mill have done for us in regard to our wedding – both Emily and Charlie were incredible and I could not have asked for better people to help organise my wedding. Thank you to everyone who was involved, especially Lou for looking after us, and all of the staff. The room looked amazing, it was quite literally my vision come to life and I was beyond happy with how it all turned out. The staff in the hotel were also amazing – so helpful and accommodating. All my family and friends had nothing but kind words to say about the rooms and the food – it was an amazing day had by all. I would not hesitate to recommend the venue to any of my family and friends.
