About

Allan Bank, NEW to the wedding scene, is a unique wedding venue located in Grasmere in the Cumbrian region of England. Follow in the spirit of the wind and let nature guide this romantic occasion. Equipped with indoor and outdoor spaces, you can choose which best suits your celebration or opt for an event that ebbs and flows between the two. Surrounded by stunning views of Grasmere, you and your loved ones will see through the eyes of creatives who fall head over heels for this enchanting property.

The Place...

This 19th-century house is the perfect home away from home for you and your nearest and dearest to celebrate this beautiful union. Feel inspired by the rolling trees and vast landscapes overlooking the lake. Inside you have a grand staircase for welcoming guests, lounge and art room for ceremonies or dining and hidden nooks for some down time.

Having once housed William Wordsworth and National Trust founder Hardwicke Rawnsley, Allan Bank is rich in history. Unlike other significant places of the past, Allan Bank boasts a relaxed space where you can feel at ease. It is a cosy, welcoming spot where you feel comfortable to put your feet up and enjoy.

The grounds include a Billiard Room, a Chapel-like building built in the 1830s for Thomas Dawson. The conservatory was recently restored, and the original stained-glass windows were reinstalled. Hit by the sun, this haven is flooded with natural light and warmth and is a perfect place to sit with family and friends as you reflect on the day.

The People...

Included in this venue is the professional help of experienced wedding consultants and coordinators from Weddings by Annabel. You will be hlped each step of the way to create a personal and atmospheric celebration.

Intimate wedding in the most beautiful location

We are incredibly happy that we chose Allan Bank for our intimate wedding!
The venue is the most wonderful place, set in gorgeous surroundings, with beautiful views of Grasmere in all directions.
Everyone at Allan Bank and Annabel Candler (the wedding manager) could not have been more accommodating to our needs! We even had our bouquet and button holes made by the NT gardeners, from flowers grown onsite.
Allan Bank will always hold a special place in our hearts and we look forward to visiting again in the future and looking back on our wonderful day.
Thank you so much!
