Description

Dating back to 1066, the estate is believed to be the extensive Staffordshire woodland noted in the Doomsday Book. The Grade II listed Queen Anne residence has been home to five generations of the Williams family - and their heritage remains firmly at its heart today. Over the past 10 years, in the hands of its current owners, the picturesque and secluded estate has been renovated and reimagined to become a highly-sought after venue for weddings, private events and corporate retreats. Offering an abundance of versatile event spaces accommodating from 50 to 650 guests, Alrewas Hayes is equally suited to large-scale celebrations through to more intimate weddings. Bathed in natural light and with a flourish of period touches throughout, The Orangery is an events space that brings an air of elegance to every occasion. Located within the wing of the house and featuring a distinctive curved ceiling, arched windows and opening out on to The Courtyard, it's the ideal setting for wedding ceremonies. Accommodating from 50 guests up to 180, The Lakeside is set overlooking the estate's private lake, woodlands and wheat fields. A blank canvas for the creative, The Lakeside can be transformed for any type of occasion and offers direct access to both The Courtyard and Williams Bar. Accessed via its own private walkway, the Great Barn is the largest space within Alrewas Hayes, accommodating events from 180 to 650 guests. Reminiscent of a cool airport hanger from the outside yet sleek and contemporary on the inside, it's a place where the unimaginable is possible. The Great Barn houses state-of-the-art production facilities including image mapping, world-class lighting and sound and staging systems. Alrewas Hayes is available to hire on an exclusive basis seven days a week, throughout the year.

My dream venue.

I'm so glad I chose this beautiful venue to get married in, it was my dream venue. The decor inside the lakeside is already setup and is stunning everything is so elegant. Elise and the team were so lovely and helped so much with the wedding and when I had any questions. Amazing service. My guests also loved the venue and said it was so unique. I would defiantly recommend this wedding venue and would love to go back and relive that day again. Thank you so much Alrewas Hayes for being wonderful!

We had the day we dreamed of.

We had our wedding at Alrewas Hayes on 18th May 2024 and quite honestly we couldn’t have chosen a better venue. We have had so many comments from people about how stunning it is and how amazing the food was. The service was outstanding from the moment we viewed the venue to the actual wedding day. Our wedding planner Emma was fantastic, nothing was too much trouble and everything was done with a smile. We had the day we dreamed of and we couldn’t be more grateful ❤️

The venue speaks for it self, it’s truly amazing.

We can’t recommend the venue highly enough. Amie looked after us from the initial viewing and she was amazing throughout the whole process, always so helpful and friendly! Grace and the whole team who worked on our day were amazing, we had so many compliments from our guests about how good the staff were. The food was incredible and the service was great. The venue speaks for it self, it’s truly amazing. We had the best day of our lives, if we could do it all again we would still choose Alrewas.

The most beautiful wedding venue!!

From our first look 18 months out from our wedding as soon as we saw this venue we both knew it was perfect! The staff at Alrewas Hayes went above and beyond to make sure our planning and day went smoothly. A special mention to Amie who was with us from that first look through to our wedding day and without her and her amazing hard work our day would not have ran as smoothly as it did. The special and extra touches at Alrewas Hayes you will not find elsewhere. Our guests all commented on how b
