The oak pannelled room where the ceremony was held was beautiful with a big tapestry wall hanging on the wall behind the bride and groom. The grounds are beautiful, perfect location for photographs. The staff were polite and helpful and the food was very good and there was lots of it too. The married couple opted for a Sunday wedding with a roast which included yorkshire puddings and they gave seconds to anyone that wanted them!We attended a wedding at Cannon Hall Museum last weekend.

- AAndrea27/07/2023Fabulous Wedding VenueFabulous Wedding VenueMy husband and I (I'm still getting used to saying that!) were married here. We had chosen the museum as our wedding venue, as we came here on our first date six years previously. The day was fantastic, absolutely perfect, and this was helped by the wonderful staff (both paid and voluntary) at the museum. Special mention must be made of Jane Galvin who made all the arrangements as stress free as possible.
