Wedding Reception Venue


The Reid Rooms

Built nearly 200 years ago as stables for the working horses on Marks Hall Farm, The Reid Rooms provide a unique rural setting combining the best of modern facilities with timeless charm. The attractive weather boarded buildings are set in beautiful countryside and back on to the moat of the Grade II Listed 15th century farmhouse and its superb gardens.

The Reid Rooms Courtyard
Inside, there is a wealth of exposed timber beams and fittings reflecting the long history of The Reid Rooms as working farm buildings. Now, tastefully renovated and converted to the highest standard, they have been furnished with fine antique pine and rural paintings.

The Reid Rooms offer wedding guests a linked series of rooms surrounding a landscaped courtyard. This gives great flexibility, giving guests the option to gather for quiet conversation in the drawing room, while others enjoy an evening disco in the bar.

Bride and Groom at The Reid Rooms
The Courtyard: This attractive landscaped area is sheltered on three sides, and provides views over the moat and 15th century Marks Hall Farmhouse. Tables, chairs, parasols and a minstrels’ gallery above provide a delightful setting for drinks in fine weather.

From the courtyard, a paved walkway leads between raised planted beds to the Ceremony Room. With an exposed timber framework, this carefully converted room can accommodate up to 100 seated guests and provides an intimate and very special setting for all civil ceremonies.

The Dining Room
The Dining Room with fine oak and elm beams, trussed with American pine, combined with subtle lighting can seat up to 120 guests (150 if incorporating the Drawing Room).

After the Wedding Breakfast the Drawing Room, complete with log burning fire, and the adjoining Conservatory offer a comfortable retreat for drinks and coffee in a quiet, relaxed atmosphere.

Bar / Reception Room

The Bar/Reception Room provides a spacious area for pre-wedding drinks in inclement weather and a dance floor for evening entertainment.

Since opening in 1996, The Reid Rooms have hosted over 1200 weddings and are pleased to be able to offer flexibility and help based upon many years of experience.

The Drawing Room
You may provide your own wine and champagne for the wedding breakfast for which there is no corkage fee or service charge.
The Reid Rooms has a fully equipped kitchen and will be happy to recommend local caterers and suppliers for every aspect of your function. The Reid Rooms are fully licensed and include a staffed bar for the evening.
