Askham Hall is a beautiful country house Lake District wedding venue located in Penrith. Situated along the edge of the beautiful Lake District National Park in Cumbria, Askham also provides a barn venue and is suitable for celebrations of all sizes and styles. It offers a luxurious, intimate and relaxed space to hold your wedding.

Askham Hall is licensed for civil ceremonies in the Grade II listed barn, the 16th century Medieval Hall and the Grade I listed manor house. If the weather is on your side, the outdoor garden pavilion is also available for tying the knot. For a traditional ceremony, St. Peters Church and St. Michael’s Church are just a short distance away. On the venue’s grounds, the Bank Barn has been beautifully restored to welcome you and your loved ones. It boasts original features, such as bare stone walls and a beamed oak ceiling, mixed with contemporary décor. Seating up to 150 guests, it is a fantastic setting for a wedding in every season. The cosier 16th century Medieval Hall is perfect for mid-week minimonies.

Askham Hall, a Lake District Wedding Venue

Askham Hall is the home of Allium, a Michelin-Starred restaurant located within the manor house. This restaurant also holds four AA rosettes for both its menu and wine list. It can accommodate 30 people and is best for small wedding breakfasts. In addition, the hotel asks that you spend two nights minimum if you are holding your nuptials here. This means that you will have the entire day beforehand to set up your wedding perfectly with the help of the dedicated events team.

19 luxurious bedrooms will be at your disposal, and 11 rooms at the venue’s sister country inn, George and Dragon, Clifton. In addition, The Queen’s Head is a charming inn with 6 bedrooms, located in the village of Askham.

Askham Hall was Cumbria Tourism’s Wedding Venue of the Year 2022.

Hannah and Michele, 15.06.21 “They went beyond what they needed to"

Stunning venue and location for our dream wedding! We loved the character and history of the venue and exploring the beautiful grounds, especially the meadows. Staff were outstanding - with the planning and on the day - nothing was too much trouble and they went beyond what they needed to do every time. Our Michelin star tasting menu was incredible and we have really special memories of our big day. Thank you Askham Hall, you knocked it out the park!

Ani and Toby, 12.06.21 “Nothing stuffy or formal”

Askham Hall is the most beautiful setting, we loved the area already but couldn’t have anticipated how comfortable & welcome we would be made to feel throughout planning and the weekend of our wedding. The staff are excellent, as you would expect given the Michelin star restaurant, but there is nothing stuffy or formal. We could not have asked for anywhere better to celebrate our wedding. A special mention to Jenny, who executed the day with great care & precision, she & her team are wonderful

India and Ricky, 10.07.21 “Coronacoaster!”

We had the most magical day we could have ever dreamed of, and after the coronacoaster that led us to it we can honestly say we would not change a thing. The wedding team were so supportive throughout and attentive on the day and every single member of staff at Askham Hall went over and beyond. The weekend from start to finish was the best service we have ever experienced and the best experience of our lives as a whole. We can't wait to visit Askham Hall again in the very near future!

Danielle and Tim, 08.07.21 “Third time lucky!”

Third time lucky and our day finally came! Given the circumstances of the last year and a half it was a difficult planning process but Askham Hall were amazing throughout. Our day was just perfect from start to finish. The staff were great and the food was absolutely amazing. The team that were there to help set up and clean up were super helpful and the process was made so easy. We really couldn't recommend Askham Hall enough. Incredible in every way!
