Set within 17 acres of private countryside in Cumbria, South Lakes, Knott Estate is a romantic and exclusive wedding venue designed for intimate celebrations, small weddings and elopements.

Our beautiful barns date back to the 17th century and have been lovingly restored over the years, carefully preserving their original character while creating a truly special setting for modern celebrations. Surrounded by rolling countryside and beautiful views, Knott Estate offers complete privacy and the opportunity to celebrate your wedding exactly as you wish.

Nature is at the heart of our venue, the estate is home to an abundance of wildlife, with deer regularly seen roaming the surrounding countryside, alongside rare butterflies and wildflowers that bring colour to the landscape throughout the seasons. It is a wonderfully peaceful and unspoilt setting, where you can slow down, escape the everyday and celebrate surrounded by the beauty of nature.

As a family-run business, Knott Estate is incredibly personal to us. We genuinely care about what we do and feel incredibly privileged to play a part in such an important chapter of our couples' lives. We have poured our hearts into restoring and caring for this special place, and we want every couple who celebrates here to feel the same warmth, care and attention that has gone into creating it.

Whether you are dreaming of an intimate wedding with your closest family and friends or a romantic elopement for just the two of you, Knott Estate offers a setting that feels both private and personal. With luxury accommodation on our sister site, you and your guests can relax, slow down and make the most of your time together, extending your celebration beyond the wedding day itself.

We believe that smaller weddings can be just as memorable and perhaps even more meaningful. At Knott Estate, you have the freedom to make the space entirely your own, creating a celebration that reflects you, your story and the way you want your day to feel. There is no need to follow tradition or do things a certain way; whether you are dreaming of something relaxed and informal, beautifully styled and elegant, or completely unique, you can shape your wedding around what matters most to you.

We would love to welcome you to Knott Estate, show you around our special corner of the countryside and hear all about your wedding plans.
