THE LAKESIDE

THE STABLES The stables have got a magic of their own. Built from local hand made bricks in 1869, the stables offers an intimate, romantic place for your wedding ceremony. With the choice of seats or benches, the Stables hosts up to 100 guests.

The Cow House has been imaginatively restored using local sourced, recycled wood for the ceiling and the bar is a recycled prop from a TV program! The original wall of antique bricks remains, to give you a rustic back drop for your wedding. Large windows have been added which allows the sunlight to come flooding in from the courtyard. It is a blank canvas and just waiting for you to put your own stamp on it. Maximum guests 200

POP INTO THE PROP STOP We love recycling and so do our couples. We have an Aladdin's cave full of previously used props, including candles, easels decorations, flowers, postboxes, decorative ladders,rustic boxes, outdoor games etc etc We love it and so will you and it is free!
