WEDDING FAYRE - SUNDAY 18th OCTOBER, 1-4pm
Meet with a handpicked selection of local exhibitors, engage with our wedding team, and take a look around our beautiful grounds, house and wedding barn, all with a complimentary glass of fizz and canapes. We’ll also be offering venue viewings every hour – these must be pre-booked as spaces are limited. If you’d like to reserve a slot, please send us a message or get in touch via email weddings@askhamhall.co.uk with your name and number.
Welcome to Askham Hall, an exclusive Lake District wedding venue for up to 150 guests, with 19 luxurious bedrooms. Incorporating a 13th Century Country House and picture perfect gardens with a rustic barn, we offer a bespoke service tailored to your dream celebrations.
The village of Askham itself is a rewarding first impression, with quaint houses, St Peters Church, and the river Lowther bumbling along the outskirts. Tucked away down a leafy drive sits Askham Hall, an historic estate blending modern elegance with rustic charm, providing a retreat for unique celebrations of between 2 and 150 guests.
With a dedication to seasonality, sustainability, and homegrown ingredients, our focus on farm-to-table menus offers a culinary journey to ignite conversation. Intimate weddings have the experience of our Michelin-starred restaurant within the Hall, and our wedding barn menus are equally matched on emphasizing the very best produce to celebrate the changing seasons. So, whether you have 2 or 150 guests, you can enjoy an unforgettable dining experience.
The sweeping lawns, lovingly maintained gardens, cosy indoor spaces, and large historic barn with exposed stone walls, traditional oak beams and twinkling lights provide the options for your perfect day - right through from saying I do to partying into the night.
For yours, and your guest’s accommodation, we have 19 bedrooms at Askham Hall. In addition, there are several pubs nearby, including The Queens Head (5minute walk) with 6 bedrooms and the George and Dragon (10minute drive) with 11 rooms. All are dog-friendly.
When your special day comes, our on-site wedding co-ordinators (who you will have got to know during the process) will be ready to greet you with the access to the barn from 12noon the day before your wedding to put those perfect touches in.

We didn't want to move in case it wasn't real it was that magical. Two months later I still have a massive smile on my face because of the efficiency, splendour and character of Askham hall and its staff. Truly wonderful.When we woke up the morning after the wedding and the reception the night before, it felt like we were in a dream. We didn't want to move in case it wasn't real it was that magical.

We felt they were friendly, organised and realiable. The venue itself is simply breathtaking. There are so many different aspects and back drops and the accommodation over the weekend (we had exclusivity) was more than we could have ever wished for. We would most definitely recommend the venue to friends, family and anyone who would listen! We got only positive feedback from all our guests, both in residence and not.The staff at Askham Hall were amazing throughout the whole wedding process.

All the staff were amazing in the run up and on the day they were outstanding. We loved having the hall for the night before the wedding too. Nico was fabulous . The gardens are the most beautiful along with the rest of the grounds. Food was out of this world, i still think about the beef we had for our wedding breakfast. I wish I could do the day again and can not wait to go back and celebrate our anniversary there.Askham Hall was everything and more that we wanted for our wedding.

Many other venues have 'set wedding options' but Askham allow you to tailor make your wedding day. The staff are friendly, welcoming and accommodating. From the first visit to the follow up emails after the wedding we were made to feel important and welcome. The staff in the care, house and on the wedding day were professional and always keen to help. The feedback from our guests was also very complimentary.Askham gave our wedding a personal touch.
