Brinsop Court is an award-winning 14th-century manor house encircled by a moat, a traditionally built oak barn, and two idyllic cottages. Nestled within 800 acres of farmland and wonderfully preserved nature, you’ll have exclusive use of the Grade I-listed estate for your big day.
The venue is perfect for pre-wedding retreats; put your feet up in front of the wood-burning fire and unwind in the hot tub with a glass of something bubbly. Located just a short walk from the house, the Ivy and Wood Cottages are ideal places to spend the night before your big day.
Celebrate in style You will have the choice to make your vows in an array of locations within the manor, or if you’d like to tie the knot in a church, Brinsop Church, St. George’s, is less than five minutes away.
The Knot Barn is a traditionally built oak barn with a feature bar and magical views over the landscaped gardens and Herefordshire countryside. With floor-to-ceiling windows that open along the whole front of the barn, your day can have an al fresco feeling, whatever the time of year. The barn works perfectly for large and small weddings, as sections can be created to keep it feeling intimate.
If the weather is on your side, the Wordsworth Lawn, Astley Pergola, and London Plane Glade are truly magical spots.
When your ceremony is over, you and your guests will be ready to mingle amongst refreshments. Enjoy delicious food followed by champagne toasts in a choice of rooms. All linen, cutlery, crockery, glassware, tables, and chairs are included.
Travel across the oak boardwalk, under the wooden pergolas, to the Knot Barn. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the sunset over Herefordshire’s hills as the evening draws in. Inside, the feature bar has an impressive menu of draft ales and gin, ready to warm your guests up for a night on the dancefloor. Whether you choose a live band or a DJ, it’s sure to be a party that won’t be forgotten.
As the festivities continue, there are firepits and a pizza oven outside to keep your guests toasty and refuelled.
