Welcome to The Coach House at Soughton Hall
Planning your wedding is an exciting journey, and The Coach House at Soughton Hall is here to make your special day truly unforgettable. As the owner, I’m proud to share what makes our venue the perfect place to start your life together.
A Unique Blend of History and Modern Luxury
Located within the historic Soughton Hall estate—a stunning 16th-century manor—The Coach House combines timeless charm with contemporary comfort. We’ve carefully restored the space to highlight original features like striking oak beams and rustic brickwork, while adding a relaxed, elegant touch. The result is a warm, refined atmosphere that creates a beautiful backdrop for your wedding celebration.
Versatile Spaces Tailored to Your Wedding Vision
Every couple is unique, and your wedding should reflect that. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a larger celebration, we offer a range of flexible indoor and outdoor spaces to bring your dream day to life:
- The Loft: Originally a hay storage area, The Loft is now a stunning venue for ceremonies and receptions. Its high ceilings and preserved oak beams create a spacious yet cozy setting.
- The Stables Bar: Perfect for smaller, intimate groups, this charming space blends rustic character with modern touches. For bigger events, it can be combined with The Loft for added space.
- Outdoor Spaces: Our enchanting gravel courtyard, lit by twinkling lights, offers a magical spot for wedding photos. The sunlit terrace and gardens provide a secluded, picturesque setting for drinks and canapés.
A Venue Steeped in History
Soughton Hall itself has a rich story. Built in 1714 as a Bishop’s Palace, it was redesigned in the 1800s by Sir Charles Barry—the architect behind the Houses of Parliament and Highclere Castle (the real Downton Abbey). The Georgian architecture and beautifully landscaped gardens offer a spectacular backdrop for your wedding photos and memories.
