The Rowantree is another enchanting location to have your ceremony, with a capacity for up to 70 loved ones. For your reception, you can invite up to 110 people. This stunning area features low, arched ceilings and was originally called Lucky Middlemass' Tavern. This momentous landmark has served several famous historical figures.
