The Richard Churcher Room

Named after a local 18th century philanthropist, the room is elegantly decorated, featuring a large bay window, antique furniture and crystal chandeliers. The large, attractive gardens and the building itself provide a wonderful backdrop for photographs. A small waiting area is available for guests.

Accommodates 50 people including the couple, two registrars and two witnesses.

Confetti

There are probably other couples using the facilities on the same day, so to keep the ceremony room looking tidy, please ensure that your guests wait until they are outside before they throw confetti. If possible please use bio degradable confetti.

Party poppers and spray string should not be used. Please check with registration staff as some local restrictions apply.

Photographers and Video

Videos can be taken at any point before, during and after the ceremony provided that it does not interrupt the proceedings.

Please inform the registration staff so that the cameraman can be directed to a suitable position. Your guests are welcome to take photographs before and after the ceremony, but the ”official” photographer should speak to registration staff to agree mutually acceptable points at which photographs can be taken during the ceremony.
