The historic house features beautiful, characterful rooms, high ceilings, and timeless architectural details, creating a refined yet welcoming atmosphere for ceremonies, receptions, and celebrations.

Services Offered

As a dry-hire venue, Burrows Lea Country House gives couples the freedom to create a wedding that is entirely their own. Couples are welcome to choose their own caterers, planners, and creative teams, allowing every detail to be tailored to their personal taste and vision.

To support a smooth and stress-free planning process, Burrows Lea also provides a carefully curated list of trusted and experienced wedding suppliers, including planners, caterers, florists, stretch-tent specialists, lighting designers, and DJs.
