To the manor born
Entering the grounds of Lillibrook Manor from the sweeping
driveway, you reach the beautiful grade II listed manor house,
surrounded by 15 acres of gardens and paddocks – a truly
stunning location whatever the season.
The Great Barn with its beamed ceiling and wrought iron
chandeliers is the perfect space for your ceremony and
reception, seating up to 170 guests on circular tables or 160 on
two extra-long banqueting tables – made even more magical
by a state-of the-art PA system and adjustable coloured
lighting. The Animal Engine Room – a fabulous hexagonal
break-out area attached to it – is a great space for guests to
relax with a drink while they recharge for the dance floor!
The Small Barn, reminiscent of a small country church, seats
up to 120 guests – or you can gather here for your welcome
drinks if you choose to have
your ceremony outside in
the Cloister Garden – one of
just a handful of places in
Berkshire licensed for
outdoor weddings.
