The Lygon Arms

There is a quiet grandeur to The Lygon Arms, found in the heart of Broadway-one of the Cotswolds’ most distinguished villages. Dating back to the 16th century, the hotel is steeped in history, with stone fireplaces, oak-panelled rooms, and original features that speak of centuries past. Surrounding it are the gentle hills and honey-coloured buildings of Broadway, long admired by artists and writers alike. The location blends historic character with modern comfort, making it an evocative place for a meaningful celebration.

The venue is licensed for civil ceremonies by Worcestershire County Council, offering three distinctive rooms to host your vows.

• The Edinburgh Room – Light-filled with countryside views. Seats up to 50 guests.
• The Drawing Room – A refined first-floor suite with original fireplace and courtyard views. Seats up to 18 guests.
• The Cromwell Room – A historically resonant space where Oliver Cromwell stayed in 1651. Wood-panelled and intimate. Seats up to 18 guests.

Each space offers privacy, comfort, and a strong sense of place.

Receptions can be held in the same three rooms, each providing a unique atmosphere for the wedding breakfast.

• The Edinburgh Room – A flexible, contemporary space for up to 50 guests.
• The Drawing Room – Suited to intimate dining with up to 18 guests.
• The Cromwell Room – Best for very small gatherings, seating up to 12 guests.

All rooms strike a balance between heritage and ease, allowing your guests to feel relaxed in elegant surroundings.

There are 86 rooms and suites available, ranging from cosy guest rooms to historic Master Suites. Whether you choose to stay in one of the signature suites for your first night as a married couple or book a collection of rooms for your guests, the accommodation supports a seamless continuation of the celebration.

Menus are curated by James Martin, using seasonal and locally sourced produce. Dishes reflect a respect for tradition, prepared with a focus on quality and simplicity. The dining experience is relaxed and authentic, designed to suit the tone of your celebration.
