the nitty gritty
Our wedding rates are shown below with terms & conditions downloadable under ‘advice’ at the bottom of this page.
If there’s anything you’re not sure about or want to discuss, just give us a call or drop us an email.
Don’t forget that although you can arrange a wedding at short notice the trend is for longer lead in times of 12 – 18 months, sometimes a couple of years! So for the dates & caterers etc that you want, especially in May, June or September, it’s the early bird that gets the worm...

“We really appreciate just how much effort your whole team put into the weekend. We couldn’t have asked for a more amazing weekend and it really wouldn’t have been possible without all your help and support. Thank you so much...”

Our Venue

The site is unique. A woodland valley folded around a clear, spring-fed lake created from the old Tregildrans Quarry. Our tipis are dotted about this secret 16 acres clothed in ferns and bluebells, oak and meadowsweet. Undisturbed by modern agrochemicals and herbicides the natural ecosystem has flourished, providing a thriving habitat for flowers and butterflies, birds and mammals.

It's a place a world apart from the rush and clutter of the modern holiday experience, with an atmosphere that makes you forget the world outside, and just lounge, ramble, or potter about in a boat. 
 
 

"The band was fantastic, the company even better and we finished it off sleeping in a tipi and waking to a fantastic day of fishing and swimming in the lake."

 
 

Ceremony & Reception

Walk down a light dappled path past mossy Sherwood trunks, through a little meadow of tipis then over a  stream & down to our pavilion of wood, willow & canvas. It’s bordered on 2 sides by the  stream & under a great ash tree..

Lake & Woods

Wander across the stream over little wooden bridges to a wooded dingly dell, brilliant blue with bells in April/May and a palette of greens the rest of the season. This is where we can hang Chinese lanterns & bunting for really pretty..

Accomodation

The great thing about getting married with us is that you’ve got loads of potential accommodation for your friends and family, meaning that everyone can enjoy a longer or shorter weekend with you, but without the stress of lengthy accommodation...
