If you are looking for a venue that is unique in every way then you have found it. Royle Forest not only prides itself on our beautiful photo opportunities within the forest but also boasts the best celebration set-up you could hope to find with “The Forest Bar” as the centrepiece of your party we guarantee to get your guests on our kick ass dancefloor.

Every square inch of our venue has been hand-crafted by our team onsite to ensure it is of the highest quality and fits in with our overall goal of standing out from the crowd.

At Royle Forest we do things differently to other venues, not just unique in style we have also designed our service to be as flexible as possible. This means no strict formats for your day meaning you can get as creative with our venue as you like and all for one price, leaving just a few details for you to arrange!

C E R E M O N I E S

We are fully licensed to hold ceremonies, meaning if you have a Registrar, you will be able to officially say "I do" in the forest! Your ceremony at Royle Forest can be flexible and you can choose to have a Registrar, Celebrant or even a friend or family member to lead your ceremony on the day.

The cherry on top to make you feel extra special. When you book with us you get the following;

1. Beer Tasting Session: A beer tasting session on us with at our micro brewery we have partnered up with, which you get to choose a beer to have on draft for your day.

2. Memory Box: A handmade box with your initials, wedding date and our logo burnt into the top. It's full of goodies and you can then use this as a wedding memory box.

3. Plant 30 Trees: We donate part of your wedding package to plant 30 trees! This is our way of giving back to the environment.

4. Personalised Sign: For your day we bespokely make a sign with your names and an arrow burnt on to help guests know where they are going. You get to keep this as a keepsake after the wedding.

With limited weddings a year, we look to offer a personable experience with our family team. We do not want to be a conveyor belt of weddings and want to make sure you have the day you deserve!

Words can't describe!

Where to start with these guys...you really are amazing!

We found this venue by chance on a Facebook ad that popped up, and once we'd been to visit, nothing else compared. From the moment we walked up the path, we knew how special this venue was, and then meeting Fraser and Emma just sold us even more. They were both so helpful and friendly, and unbelievabley passionate about doing everything they could to provide a venue and a service with a difference. We really couldn't fault them.

Everything about this venue is beautifully different, they're far from your usual Tipi's in a field. From the entrance, to the Forest Chapel, the decked walkway, cosy barrell chairs around the firepits, the stunning bar, the Whiskey Lounge (where we chucked the grandparents :D), the mesmorising dancefloor...the list neverends...oh, and the accommodation! We just wish we could relive it all over again.

Thank you both for everything you did on the day and in the lead up to it. We will be forever grateful :)
