🌿Magical Marquee Setting with Woodland & Lakeside Ceremony Locations at Quarry Wood

Looking for a wedding venue that’s anything but ordinary? Quarry Wood is a dreamy, hidden gem designed for couples who want their day to feel uniquely theirs. Whether you’re imagining a barefoot festival vibe event or a timeless, dressed-up celebration, this magical spot can flex to match your style.

Tucked away in a private part of the estate, Quarry Wood is full of charm - from its enchanting grottos to the optional woodland ceremony space under a canopy of mature trees. Think fairy lights strung between trunks, canvas canopies for dining or dancing under the stars, and a lush forest backdrop for your vows.

Follow the woodland path and it opens up to a gorgeous oval lawn with views over a lake where swans drift by. It’s the perfect spot for a marquee, sunset cocktails, and a night full of dancing. At one end, discover the "dance pit" - a secluded sunken area complete with a raised DJ platform, ideal for a silent disco for unforgettable late-night party vibes.

Need a base nearby? Deer Park Barn is just around the corner and available to hire, giving you more flexibility for your celebration.

Quarry Wood is wild, romantic, and ready for your love story.
