We’re definitely not your typical wedding venue. Sure, we can host a traditional white wedding reception, just like anyone else, but if you’re looking for something daring, different and decadent, well, that’s right up our alley!
The grade II listed house and grounds can be entirely yours for the day, the weekend or the whole week.
Our grounds feature rolling parkland, kitchen garden, paddocks and an apple orchard which all are inhabited by our sheep and shaggy Shetland ponies and Alpacas.
We are licensed to hold marriage ceremonies in The Library (up to 25 guests), The Barn (250 guests) as well as outside anywhere on the grounds. Alternatively we can host your reception and party after getting hitched at the local church… you dream it we can do it because all persuasions, religions and beliefs are welcome at Sparkford
A lazy reception lunch amidst autumn leaves in the grounds, perhaps a more formal sit down wedding breakfast in our barn (up to 100) or why not have a marquee erected (for up to 250). Afterwards why not party in the subterranean club into the early hours…
All catering styles available from our amazing list of local suppliers.

We are very happy for you to plan everything yourselves as you would if it was your own home. However, if you preferred, we can put you in touch with a wedding planner/event manager, who can assist you all the way with the planning process so you can make

- PPat Reddy08/12/2022We just had the most enjoyable happy weddingWe just had the most enjoyable happy weddingWe just had the most enjoyable happy wedding weekend there....EVER! Perfection! Very grateful to the small number of staff that ensured the smooth running of an incredible day; you have the greatest respect from the family. Kyle worked like a trojan, even in the pouring rain, to ensure all went smoothly and most of the time on his own because of absent staff. Thank you, Kyle! If you like bohemian style, or 'shabby chic'; individual, relaxed ambience, wrapped up in a grand country Manor, surrounded by acres of fields with llamas, ponies and sheep, with total freedom to create your own package if you prefer, then this is the place for you. It's spotlessly clean, pretty well stocked (need more teatowels lol!), comfy beds and good sized, functional rooms. The cottage next door to the manor is ideal for people with mobility issues; no steps to 2 of 3 bedrooms and easy access without steps to the main house. The grounds are gorgeous and so peaceful. Thank you to all the team at Sparkford; you've had a difficult time because of the pandemic, but you deserve to get back on top again. Thanks for providing us an unforgettable, brilliant weekend 🙌 😀We just had the most enjoyable happy wedding weekend there....EVER! Perfection!
