Oakley Hall

Approached via a picturesque winding driveway, the 18th-century Georgian manor house reveals itself slowly, framed by 315 acres of rolling North Hampshire farmland. Original Victorian ceiling mouldings, parquet floors, and ornate fireplaces bring a sense of history to every room. A porte-cochère welcomes you into an interior that pairs its heritage details with contemporary, understated elegance. Every public space, bedroom and event room has been thoughtfully styled to complement this balance.

Oakley Hall offers seven distinctive ceremony spaces, each with its own character. The Library, a truly unique space, is romantic and intimate, featuring an original Georgian fireplace, mahogany bookcases, and chandeliers.

The Garden Suite is a modern yet elegant room that features floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors, offering plenty of natural light. It also has direct access to the beautiful gardens and grounds.

The first-floor space, the Steventon room, is fitted with three large, south-facing windows that offer jaw-dropping views of the estate lawns and water fountain.

The Woodland Pavilion is the outdoor ceremony space framed by oak beams and a sparkling water feature. You and your guests will have beautiful views of the gardens and woodlands, whilst being just a stone’s throw away from the Main House for your celebrations.

For couples looking to host a Hindu or Muslim Wedding, the Garden Pavilion offers ample space for your Mandap/Anand Karaj. They also permit fire ceremonies (within the Mandap structure).

Oakley Hall offers a selection of beautiful spaces for your wedding breakfast and reception. The Garden Pavilion is the largest event space and can host up to 350 guests, making it ideal for larger parties. It has its own bar, kitchen, and terrace, alongside a high-end lighting and sound system.

The Garden Suite offers a graceful combination of Georgian interior design with modern-day touches. Its neutral colour scheme, ornate fireplaces, and easy access to the main house bar are just some of the many reasons why this space is one of the most popular for couples.

If you’re looking for a more intimate, romantic space for your wedding reception, the Library is the perfect space for you. Picture having your three-course meal whilst surrounded by hundreds of novels written by literary greats.

Oakley Hall is home to 50 on-site bedrooms and suites, including the three-bedroom Garden Cottage. Each bedroom is unique in style and fitted with king-size beds, modern en-suites, smart TVs, and tea and coffee-making facilities.

Their bedrooms are split between the main house and the courtyard. For guests who want a little more privacy and peace, the courtyard is just a five-minute walk away from the main house. These bedrooms and suites also offer parking directly outside.

The menus are designed to reflect your tastes. Options range from elegant canapés to formal multi-course meals, all prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients. If you’re looking for something more relaxed, hog roasts or barbecues can be arranged on the Garden Terraces.

The team are open to ideas. Whether it’s a dish you love or a concept you’ve dreamt of, they’re ready to explore it with you. For guests looking for a dry-hire venue, Oakley Hall permits external approved caterers.

Oakley Hall operates with a commitment to the natural world. The grounds are actively rewilded to support local wildlife, and several beehives are maintained on-site. Fruit, vegetables, and herbs are grown within the estate and supplemented by produce from trusted local farms, dairies and fishmongers.
