Twyning Park

Twyning Park sits on the edge of the village of Twyning, where the Worcestershire and Gloucestershire borders meet. Arrival sets the tone: a drive past village cottages, the green, and the local pub leads to a tree-lined entrance opening onto five acres of grounds overlooking the River Avon and open countryside beyond.

Lawns roll gently towards the river meadow, with long views across the landscape and space to gather, wander, or pause. The River Avon forms a natural boundary, bringing movement, light, and a sense of rhythm to the grounds throughout the day. Despite its rural feel, the location is practical and well connected, offering the balance many couples look for: countryside calm without isolation.

The gateway to the Cotswolds, Twyning Park is not only a venue but also a destination, surrounded by rich history in the local towns.

Twyning Park offers three ceremony rooms and several outdoor locations, all licensed, allowing couples to tailor the day to their priorities and the season. Indoor spaces offer character and flexibility. The Drawing room is the epitome of understated Georgian elegance, with an original Adams fireplace, original ornate cornicing and detailing, and a breathtaking floor-to-ceiling stone bay window overlooking the gardens and river.

The long room, in contrast, is more modern with oak beams and floors, whitewashed walls and flooded with light. This room is a stunning blank canvas, suitable for both ceremonies and receptions.

Outdoor ceremonies can be held across the formal grounds or riverside areas with expansive views and open skies.

Ceremonies here range from quiet elopements to larger gatherings, with layouts tailored to the celebration’s scale and style. The team work closely with each couple to ensure the space feels considered rather than formulaic, whether that means a simple ceremony for two or a larger gathering with friends and family. The variety of licensed spaces allows plans to adapt easily, with indoor options always available if needed.

The grounds include two marquee or similar structure sites, allowing couples to design a reception that suits their guest numbers, preferred suppliers, and overall vision. Celebrations here can be intimate, relaxed lunches or large-scale marquee evenings for up to 200 guests.

Exclusive use means the site remains private throughout, with no shared spaces or time pressures. Guests move naturally between ceremony, drinks, dining, and evening celebrations, making full use of the grounds as the day unfolds. As daylight fades, the focus often shifts to the marquee and surrounding lawns, with the river and countryside forming a constant backdrop to the evening.

The venue is suitable for weddings year-round. Spring, summer, and autumn offer the best opportunity to make the most of the stunning location and grounds. Winter weddings can cosy up in the main house with the log fires burning, and for larger marquee weddings, their marquees are fully heated.

Twyning Park offers two beautiful suites sleeping up to six. Cot beds and travel beds are available for children.

Accommodation is typically included in a three-day, two-night exclusive-use celebration, creating continuity across the wedding weekend.

For larger guest lists, the team provides a list of recommended local accommodation, all within two miles and offering the best available rates and discounts. The nearby Fleet Inn offers rooms and is accessed via a private gateway from the bottom of the garden, making it particularly convenient for guests.

Twyning Park operates on a flexible basis, offering dry hire, full planning, or a combination of the two. Couples are free to choose their own catering team, with no corkage charged, or to draw on the venue’s trusted network of recommended suppliers built over many years.

This approach allows food and drink to reflect the couple rather than a set package. From formal dining to relaxed sharing menus, late-night street food, or informal brunch the following day, the structure is yours to define. Bar services and staff can be provided if required, ensuring the practical side of hosting is covered without limiting creative choice.

Set on the Worcestershire-Gloucestershire border, at the gateway to the Cotswolds, Twyning village is small but well-equipped, with a village store, post office, and two pubs within walking distance. The Village Inn sits on the green and offers a traditional pub atmosphere, while the Fleet Inn overlooks the River Avon and leans more towards a dining pub, making it a popular choice for pre-wedding dinners.

Beyond the village, the wider area offers plenty to explore. Historic Tewkesbury is close enough for a gentle walk or short drive, while Cheltenham and Worcester are both around 20 minutes away. For couples extending their celebrations into a full weekend, the location makes it easy for guests to fill time without travelling far.

Twyning Park is well placed for guests travelling from across the UK. The venue is a few minutes from Junction 8 of the M5 and Junction 1 of the M50, offering straightforward road access from multiple directions.

Cheltenham and Worcester are both around 20 minutes away by car, while Bristol and Birmingham are approximately an hour away. Worcestershire Parkway station is a 15-minute drive away; Cheltenham and Gloucester are 25 minutes away, and the area generally offers good rail connections nationwide.
