Hobbit Hill is a wedding venue located in Lancashire, England, near Stonyhurst. Nestled in 150 acres of beautiful rolling countryside, it is one of the most romantic and picturesque locations in the Ribble Valley. Its unique rural setting presents the opportunity for an idyllic and memorable wedding day.

Facilities and Capacity

With panoramic views of the surrounding country and river Ribble, Hobbit Hill offers the perfect blank canvas for an event with a personal touch. There is no shortage of space at this property with its endless expanse of undulating landscape and forest. You can utilise their grounds however you like, perhaps taking advantage of the stunning scenery for your couples' portraits. You might choose Hobbit Hill's own Round Wood for a candlelit woodland ceremony with tree trunk seating for your guests. During colder weather, they offer indoor spaces for ceremonies. After exchanging vows, you can dine and dance with up to 130 guests in their recently built Wedding Barn. This stunning space features ceiling-high oak trusses, perfect for a rustic-chic reception. On sunny days, you can bring the outside in by opening their bi-folding doors, which are the entire length of the barn. After a night of celebrations, you and your loved ones can retreat to their secluded glamping pods for a blissful rest. If you are hosting a large-scale wedding party, they provide electricity connections for guests who bring their own tents and caravans.

25 October - Mr & Mrs Simm

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team than at Hobbit Hill. From the very start, they were absolutely amazing, always so helpful, friendly and quick to answer any questions we had in the lead-up to the big day. A huge thank you to Jen and the whole team for making everything run so smoothly and for being so supportive throughout the entire journey.

We had the most incredible day, everything was perfect from start to finish. The venue itself is just stunning; the combination of the beautiful forest surroundings and the rustic barn made it the dreamiest setting we could have ever imagined for our wedding.

Thank you so much again to everyone at Hobbit Hill for helping make our day so special, it was everything we’d hoped for and more.

Can we do it all again please?

When we got engaged in 2023 we spent a day looking around three venues in the Ribble Valley. When we parked up at Hobbit Hill and got out of the car we just knew it was 'the one'!. Jen is a family friend so we knew we were in good hands from the start. Over the two years of planning, she was on hand to answer any questions we had and didn't mind when we turned up to nearly every wedding fair with a list of questions and always responded to our emails (I say we but I completely mean me!). When our time (finally!) arrived, we were allowed access the day before to set up and I also stayed in The Shire the night before with my bridesmaids. I loved being able to do this as it made the morning of the wedding as stress free as possible as everything was done and I was already there. We had the most perfect day in the most beautiful surroundings, all our guests were very complimentary of the venue, the grounds and the staff. Jen and the team did a fantastic job looking after us, our families and all our guests. We cannot thank them enough for the part they played in making our day as wonderful and as memorable as it was. If only we could do it all again!

The BEST day.

Our day was absolutely incredible, despite it being possibly the worst weather imaginable - non-stop torrential rain without a break. Thankfully, the Hobbit Hill team were brilliant and accommodated indoor group photos, extra space when needed and provided a beautiful, cosy atmosphere in the evening. We even ended up dancing outside in the night-time rain and getting the most beautiful photographs.

Jen, our wedding co-ordinator did a wonderful job both before and during the day. Anything we needed, she was there ready to help.

The best thing about Hobbit Hill for us was that you can have the whole venue, exclusively, from 10am the day before - so we were able to dress the rooms ourselves and enjoy the night before with friends and family who were staying on site. This really added to the experience for us, nothing felt rushed.

I would recommend this venue to anyone. The accommodation is stunning, the setting is simply perfect and the staff are brilliant.

Thank you so much, for everything.

The wedding venue of fairytales

I honestly don’t know where to begin with this venue, the beautiful surroundings that hold this space and the beautiful staff that make the venue what it is.

We went to only two wedding venues to look around and as soon as we saw here we knew there was nowhere that would even come close to hosting our day. The process of planning was completely smooth from the get go with Jen’s support. Jen was always so prompt at getting back to us with any queries we had and she always felt approachable, supportive but also so human with us, putting two people who were complete clueless about organising anything totally at ease!

The venue is just breathtaking, all of our guests were in complete awe of the place and the round wood for the ceremony. In the evening there was such a magical feel to the day and we have memories with family that will last a lifetime from this beautiful setting.

Jen went absolutely above and beyond on the day, even working with my brother and our saxophonist to ensure I came down the aisle to the exact timing of a heartfelt part of the wedding song I had chosen. All the staff were always so helpful and friendly whenever we visited and on the day.

If you are considering this venue, go for it! Theres absolutely no way you will regret it. Thank you all so so much from the bottom of our hearts. Mr and Mrs Nester xxxx

Most stunning wedding venue!

I was introduced to Hobbit Hill when I was looking for a venue to host an engagement party but as soon as we saw it we knew it had to be our wedding venue! It is the most stunning place EVER! The views across the Ribble Valley are outstanding, the barn itself is gorgeous and so well decorated. The Shire is also so gorgeous and an amazing place to get ready for the morning of your wedding. Don’t even get me started on the woodland area. All I wanted to do was get married there and thankfully the rain held off so we could. One thing that I absolutely loved about this venue is the fact that they only do weddings three times a week so it doesn’t feel like a factory churning out weddings. You essentially get 2 full days out of the venue itself which is quite rare.

The staff, in particular Jen, are out of this world. They cannot do enough for you and work tirelessly to ensure your day is perfect! I prepared myself on the build up that it wouldn’t be perfect and things always go wrong but I can honestly say nothing went wrong for us at all and that can only be because of how well the team work with all the vendors.

Best wedding venue, best day, best team - thank you so much Hobbit Hill for being simply AMAZING!

No better venue out there!

What an incredible venue! From the picturesque setting to the amazing staff, Hobbit Hill was phenomenal from our very first viewing. They made the process so easy from start to finish and we were so made up to how everything unravelled on the big day. We couldn’t recommend the venue enough!

Cannot fault this venue

As soon as we first visited Hobbit Hill we fell in love with the rustic decor & beautiful scenery. The venue was the perfect place for our wedding and everyone who came loved it.

All the staff were professional & helpful (even with my millions of questions) and nothing was too much trouble.

Everything ran so smoothly & Hobbit Hill had a huge part in helping with that

Hobbit Hill Review

Hobbit Hill is the most perfect place to get married. The venue is done to high class, the clamping pods add a rustic touch. We were able to stay in the new shire which was amazing the night before to have all my bridesmaids, flower girls and Paige boy there to celebrate. We were able to get ready there in the morning, which was fantastic and stay the night of the wedding. We we fortunate to get married in the woodland area outside which is like a fairy tale. The staff can’t do enough for you, from booking the wedding, to setting it up the day before right through to the day nothing was to much. Becky, Jen and Fiona are excellent at what they do, they go that extra mile for you. I honestly can’t thank them enough for making our day so special. Our day was magical and I would highly recommend anyone to book a wedding here it truly is what dreams are made of. Thank you so much Rosie and Steve xx

Hobbit Hill Review

Hobbit Hill absolutely deserves 5 stars. Our wedding was perfect, the staff are incredible and so attentive with every single request. The communication was so efficient which put us at ease throughout the whole process. We would like to say a special thank you to Jen, who went above and beyond with everything and was there for us every step of the way. Not to mention the venue itself is just perfect, the shire and all of the pods were immaculate. We genuinely could not have picked anywhere better. Thank you!

Hobbit Hill Review

WOWIE, where do we begin with Hobbit Hill. Firstly what a beautiful venue, we got married here in December and so many of our guests have commented on so many amazing qualities about the venue: how gorgeous it is, how clean it was, how amazing all the staff were, the list goes on. Thank you Hobbit Hill for being such a beautiful place and for providing us the best day. Thank you Jen for replying to ALL my email, Fiona for all your help on the day, Katie for any additional help you gave and the whole team on the day, you were all really amazing and your hard work did not go unnoticed. Thank you again for a truly magical day xxx

Hobbit Hill Review

We got married at Hobbit Hill on the 25.11.23 and from the day we booked to the week after the wedding it was faultless. Nothing was too much trouble, all our questions were answered and they were so helpful. The day before the wedding we went to set up and everyone was so welcoming and lovely. The day of the wedding we had Fiona to guide and help us through the day. She was AMAZING. The actual venue itself is immaculate and so so beautiful. The new part - The Shire - is breathtaking and I would definitely recommend paying the extra to stay in there. Thank you so much to everyone at Hobbit Hill… you made our dreams come true!
