Pippa Sent on 25/05/2026So many options, ticks so many boxes
Shuttleworth is multiple venues in one. There is the grand country house, with multiple rooms - ideal if you are having a lengthy celebration with intimate wedding breakfast, larger evening meal and late night disco, which can all be segregated. But there are also the 100s of acres of rolling grounds, lakes and ponds for more bucolic surroundings (and insulating the house from any intrusion by the real world). For still more beautiful scenery there is the Swiss Garden, a Royal Horticultural society garden complete with Peacocks, ornamental bridges, listed buildings and the all-important steps for that photo with the dress' train laid out.
Those wanting a Church Wedding are well served by St Leonards, a 1000 year old church with stunning stained glass windows, various heraldic shields and nearby paddocks for any horse lovers. The Church sits nearly inside the grounds of the house, just past the cricket pitch and thatched cottage, for the quintenssial English village scene.
There is also of course the Shuttleworth collection itself, a range of vintage aircraft (including Spitfires and Hurricanes of course) and vehicles, which are still taken out and operated. Adding an extra dimension to any celebration - we took one of the Vintage cars back from the Church, and had a vintage bus ride for all the guests to and from the museum. Combined with garden games at the back of the house, there really was something for everyone.
Shuttleworth provides a Wedding Planner which assists with organising the events, however, with so many options (you hire the entire house so need to pick where things happen, and between the House and the Caterers you need to choose dry hire, wet hire, who does what etc.) it is essential to plan ahead. Not least to ensure you don't accidentally book the day before an airshow or other event (unless you want to make that part of the celebrations!) It might even be better to consider two days in order to fit everything in and have an easier time packing up with an unhurried departure. Which is possible thanks to onsite accomodation, including a lovely self-contained flat inside the main house which makes for a great way to start to married life. -

From the moment we walked into Shuttleworth House we knew we had found our venue, and it was the first, and only venue we looked at.
The house is simply stunning, both inside and out. Georgia and the team were so helpful from the beginning of the planning process to the day itself, our day went without a hitch, apart from us getting Hitched!
All our guests remarked on the beauty of the venue and there are so many places to take photographs if the weather is not what you wanted for your day.
We also really liked the fact that all profits made on all the events at Shuttleworth go back into maintaining the property and the Collection rather than it just being a standard profit lead wedding venue.
Having the White Rose Bus (other vehicles are available!) outside was an added bonus, it wasn’t just a beautiful stationary photo backdrop, it also took guests on a tour of the estate, I’ve never seen so many adults want to go on a bus ride. The driver and conductor clearly enjoyed telling the passengers about the history of the bus and about the estate.
Cost, seriously we were blown away by how affordable the venue was (when compared to others in the area,) and there were no silly add-ons that other venues charge for!
We really can’t recommend Shuttleworth house enough, go and view it!

Shuttleworth House: Our DREAM Wedding Venue!
I honestly don't know where to start with this review because everything about Shuttleworth House was incredible! It was my dream wedding venue and Georgia- and the rest of her team were superb! Not only is it a beautiful building but they work very hard to ensure that the history of Shuttleworth is preserved and to conserve the building and furnishings. Therefore the House is really well-maintained and not tired like some other wedding venues we looked at. It also feels as though it's your home-away-from-home for the day- if you hire the entire House- because you're free to choose how to use the rooms and have full access, which was perfect for having quiet zones etc. or places for children to play. This also means you have lots of freedom to choose your decor and have ownership over various aspects of the day. Finally, in the lead up to the big day, Georgia and her team were always incredibly responsive to any questions we had, no matter how small. It was so reassuring to have her there and to know that we were in safe hands. I genuinely wish I could get married at Shuttleworth all over again! -

Shuttleworth House, or more specifically the Swiss Cottage in the gardens provided us with a delightful intimate wedding venue. Georgia as our wedding planner was very professional and quick to respond to our emails along the way. On the day everything went smoothly and all staff involved were fantastic. Thank you. -

The Perfect Day
Our wedding was in the Swiss cottage in the Swiss Gardens. Our wedding day was perfect! From arrival to the ceremony to the drinks on the lawn. We couldn't fault a single part of our day.
Thank you all for making it so special for us.

We had the most magical day, our ceremony was in the Swiss Gardens and we had drinks afterwards on the lawn. We had Prosecco, jugs of Pimm’s and beer served. The staff were amazing, Georgia and her team are friendly, efficient and help the day run smoothly.
Thank you so much! Xxx -

The most beautiful wedding venue
Cannot recommend Shuttleworth enough. Georgia is such a joy to work with, she really put me at ease for our wedding planning, she is very attentive and remembered all the little details that were important to us l. We also were fortunate to work with Steph who I met when we first looked round Shuttleworth. Steph is so lovely and was great at showing us on the day the best places for photographs. We were so fortunate to get beautiful weather on the day. The Swiss gardens were we had our ceremony is truly such a beautiful venue. I really did feel like I was in a fairytale. -

The Grotto & Fernery was our perfect venue
We visited the Swiss gardens in spring and knew if it looked magical in the rain then it would be amazing in Autumn. We could tell Georgia was very experienced, she explained all the options clearly and kept in touch with us throughout the process. They had recently applied for an extended license for the grotto and Georgia kept in touch and confirmed that we could invite a few more guests. On the day of our wedding in early October, everything went smoothly. Georgia and her team ensured everyone was where they were meant to be. Would definitely recommend visiting this beautiful venue! -
