Description

Lancrigg is a glorious country house in Grasmere nestled in a location second to none. From the stunning backdrop of Helm Crag and Easedale you can enjoy a unique and secluded setting for the most romantic of weddings and celebrations. A private paradise, surrounded by woodland with a breathtaking vista that inspired Wordsworth himself.

Where History, Romance, and Legacy Meet

Lancrigg is more than a wedding venue—it’s a place where history and love intertwine. This Grade II listed country house, nestled on the edge of Grasmere, has long been a sanctuary for the great minds of poetry, literature and science. William Wordsworth discovered it for his dear friend Elizabeth Fletcher, and over the centuries, its tranquil beauty has inspired legendary guests such as Charles Dickens and Charles Darwin among many other notable figures.

With roots stretching back to the 1600s, Lancrigg has been shaped by remarkable residents, including Sir John Richardson, the famed Arctic explorer who sought solace here after his daring expeditions. Every stone, oak beam and breathtaking view holds a story—one of adventure, poetry, and deep connection.

Today, as a family-owned venue, Lancrigg continues its tradition of timeless romance. Here, your wedding becomes more than a celebration—it becomes part of a centuries-old legacy, where love stories are woven into history. Let us welcome you to write the next chapter of Lancrigg’s enduring tale.

This charming property can be your private paradise in the heart of the Lake District, just a stone's throw from Grasmere. From the historic characterful house to our restored Grade II listed Lakeland barn venue, this tranquil property can play host to the celebration you have always dreamt of. The modern vintage interior is timeless, while the extensive grounds provide countless opportunities for stunning wedding photos that you will cherish for years to come. The aspect of the house is conveniently placed to enjoy the most stunning sunsets as the backdrop to your precious day. We are also excited to introduce our exclusive new 'Speakeasy' Whisky & Gin bar to ensure the festivities are toasted in style.

Facilities and Capacity

Lancrigg exudes a timeless elegance and historic appeal. Dating back to the 1600s and having been added to over time, this unique and unusual space is full of character and charm, including a wonderful restored traditional slate barn. The venue is surrounded by 30 acres of woodland and open fields at the base of Helm Crag and overlooking Easedale to the fells beyond. The property is fully licenced to hold ceremonies, so you can exchange vows in the house or on the sweeping lawn. The historic dining room is ideal for smaller celebrations and can accommodate a wedding breakfast with up to 42 guests. Larger gatherings can be held in the restored barn or for a festival wedding with the inclusion of tepees and sailcloth tents.

Services Offered

Every couple deserves something special on the wedding day, and Lancrigg provides precisely that. The team is dedicated to creating unique, relaxed and memorable occasions for clients. Regardless of the event style or size, they strive to help bring the celebration to life. With full facilities onsite providing the perfect area for professional caterers to provide incredible quality, locally produced food as well as our own in-house wrap around food options, the team can provide a list of trusted local suppliers if required. There is also accommodation onsite with 17 individually furnished bedrooms within the house and the barn.

Alpacas - the alternative wedding guests!

This is the first time we have been to The Lancrigg, it is such a beautiful venue with lovely views over the fells. The grounds are really spacious and a few of the wedding guests really enjoyed walking the alpacas during the drinks reception. Hopefully we will be back again.

Hard to beat

There aren't many venues that really offer you the opportunity to get married in the seclusion of the fells; Lancrigg is one that you can. A really lovely venue that offers so much in your own little slice of Cumbria for your wedding. Gorgeous indoor and outdoor ceremony locations and loads of photo opportunities - the staff are lovely too.

An amazing venue!!!

As a videographer, I had the pleasure of working at Lancrigg Wedding Venue in the stunning Lake District, and it was an experience I won't soon forget. Nestled in a picturesque setting, the venue offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and lush greenery, which provides a perfect backdrop for capturing those special moments. The natural light that floods the space during the day enhances the beauty of the venue and allows for some truly stunning footage. The venue itself is charming and beautifully maintained, with a mix of rustic and elegant elements that cater to a variety of wedding styles. The indoor spaces are versatile, allowing for intimate ceremonies or larger celebrations, all while maintaining a cozy atmosphere. The outdoor areas are equally impressive, offering numerous spots for romantic shots and group photos. The well-kept gardens and scenic paths provide endless opportunities for creative videography. The staff at Lancrigg are incredibly accommodating and professional, making it easy for me to do my job. They understand the needs of vendors and are always willing to help facilitate smooth transitions during the day. This seamless collaboration ensures that the couple can focus on enjoying their special day while I capture the memories that will last a lifetime. Overall, Lancrigg is a fantastic wedding venue for videographers and couples alike, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking to create beautiful wedding memories in a breathtaking location.

The perfect Lake District venue

The Lancrigg is the perfect Lake District venue, combining the comfort of the charming house and recently renovated barn, with stunning views of the Fells. The whole team are fantastic, from the grounds staff to the owners, who work together to make sure the venue is looking it's best and everything runs smoothly. A special shout out to Katrina, who is so calm and calming, and did so much to look after us and our guests for the whole weekend. Having sole use of the Lancrigg for two nights is also a wonderful advantage of this venue, and we were able to have just over half of our guests staying with us to extend the celebrations.

Lancrigg is a fantastic venue!

Lancrigg is a fantastic venue to work at. The location itself is hard to beat - you're right in the heart of the Lake District and the scenery really adds something special. The barn is a great space for a wedding; it's got a lovely rustic feel that works well with all kinds of floral designs. The staff at Lancrigg are really helpful throughout the setup. They are organised and efficient, which always makes our job easier. Our most recent wedding there was a smooth and enjoyable experience, and the flowers looked fantastic in the setting. I'd definitely recommend Lancrigg to other couples looking for a Lake District wedding venue.

Beautiful venue with amazing views and a beautiful barn

We catered wedding here in June 2024 and loved it - all the details in the barn and the views are fantastic. It is a fantastic venue with a blank canvas that allows you to be as creative as you would like. We cannot wait to do more here in 2025 and beyond

Great hospitality and location

Top hospitality and friendly staff, will visit again for sure. Warm and welcoming both the facility and staff. Location is excellent with stunning views. Grasmere village is a short walk and the surrounding Craggs and Lakes are also a short walk. The scenery is just out of this world.

Fantastic!

We’ve just returned from a very enjoyable stay at The Lancrigg. Nothing was too much trouble and we were made to feel very much at home. As the weekend was for a large group and a surprise special occasion, a lot of planning was required ahead of our visit. Nothing was too much trouble for Katrina and she was always available to help in any way she could. The rooms were spacious and comfortable and had everything we needed. A brilliant weekend in a beautiful setting. Thank you.

Gem of a hotel on fringe of Grasmere

Real gem of a hotel, lovely friendly staff, fabulous view over the fells from bedroom and really good food. Everywhere clean and choice of lounge or bar downstairs. About 15 mins walk into Grasmere centre, great starting point for Easedale Tarn which is about 4.5 mile round trip. Will definitely look to stay again.

Excellent anniversary celebration weekend

Just spent a fantastic weekend as a group of 14, (family and friends) for our Ruby wedding anniversary at the Lancrigg, a real home from home. Large lounge with open coal fire great for anyone to have a relaxing break with a brew or a beer. Katrina was brilliant, so friendly and helpful, always around if anything needed. Hotel is in an amazing setting, an easy 10 -15 minutes walk from the village.
