The Old School Rooms is a historic wedding venue nestled in the heart of the Golden Heritage Cluster in Middleton, Manchester. It's part of a grade II-listed complex designed in the late 19th century by architect Edgar Wood. This visionary created some of the most exciting architecture of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. Today, this venue is the perfect choice for those dreaming of a rustic barn wedding but with an added touch of vintage grandeur.
