Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings, with its character-filled grounds, historic buildings and views over the picturesque Worcestershire countryside, is a truly romantic setting for weddings.

Celebrate in style
New Guesten Hall, located near the museum’s entrance, boasts a 14th-century roof that was originally part of Worcester Cathedral’s reception hall. Containing beautifully detailed Medieval carpentry, it’s a large and flexible space, which can accommodate up to 120 guests for the civil ceremony and wedding breakfast and can be expanded to cater for an extra 60 loved ones for the evening reception.

Surrounding New Guesten Hall is a manicured lawn lined with trees and historical buildings, which is the ideal area for couples wanting to mingle and entertain their guests. The 19 acres of grounds provide a stunning backdrop for wedding photographs, with the Windmill, Threshing barn and Telephone Kiosk collection being favourites with couples.

We love...
The Bromsgrove Society of Model Engineers Railway is available to hire, which creates an unforgettable experience.
