About

Intimate wedding parties are becoming increasingly popular, and here at Old Downton Lodge we give you the chance to celebrate in style with close friends and family, where the quality of the event creates the sense of occasion rather than the number of guests.

Owners Willem and Pippa both know how to organise a wedding: they have built their reputation by organising some of the regions grandest receptions and now they use their experience to bring the same high standards and attention to detail to exclusive weddings at the Lodge.

Old Downton Lodge is self-contained and far away from the crowds, making an ideal canvas to plan a perfect, exclusive use wedding!

The Sitting Room and Museum provide dramatic and spacious backdrops where you can entertain your guests - not to mention all the inspiration for you to organise floral displays and unique decorations to make sure that your wedding really does reflect your own personality.

The Dining Hall combines both drama and grandeur with an intimate feel, and is perfectly sized for 60 guests in real style. Our head chef, Karl, can create the most fantastic menus that will impress even the fussiest diners.

At the end of your wedding celebration at Old Downton Lodge, you can rest knowing that each of your guests has retired to a luxurious bedroom that is unique, and full of character!
