We are delighted you are considering Whitworth Hall for your celebrations. This lovely old manor house in its beautiful landscape combines with friendly and professional hospitality to create a wonderful wedding setting. It's a delightful setting and has its own church plus we now hold a licence for outdoor ceremonies with seating on the lawn surrounded by the beautiful gardens. The romantic rose arboretum and the magnificent deer park are the ideal location for your photographer to capture those special moments.
There is more than one function suite from which to choose, depending on your numbers, or you can take over the whole hall for your exclusive use. Whatever your choice, you can expect delicious food, freshly cooked and perfectly served. The selection of menus has been created to cater for the varying tastes of you and your guests but we are happy to look at different options if there is something in particular you are looking for.
Whatever you choose, we are here to help through all the fun of planning the most wonderful wedding celebration turning your dreams into reality.
I look forward to answering your questions and discussing your individual requirements
