About

Imagine getting married under King Arthur's legendary round table! The Great Hall in Winchester, Hampshire is a unique, ancient hall venue, and it looks incredible, all dressed up for a wedding!

Wow your guests within our ancient walls—you can hold as much or as little of your wedding as you want. Say your vows beneath the legendary and impressive round table or in front of our famous wedding gates. Then step into our medieval garden or striking courtyard for some stunning photos - the opportunities for incredible pics are endless! The space is suitable for large weddings (licensed up to 300, including staff and caterers), but the pillars can make a smaller event feel intimate. The walls almost glow with soft lighting, and history oozes from them!

Drinks Reception & Photo Perfection!

We arranged for a 1.5hr hire of the Hall for after our registry office ceremony. Elise, events co-ordinator, did a spectaculor job of organising welcome drinks and a set up that matched our vision. The Hall is the backdrop to our wedding photos and we are SO glad we arranged it as it was a thoroughly wet August Saturday!

Our small group that included children loved the costumes to get dressed up and the history to read up on. A small splurge in our wedding budget but well worth it as a unique and beautiful feature. An added bonus that the money goes to the upkeep of this historic monument.

Magical in every way!

Elise delivered top notch service, advice and support in the planning of our wedding ceremony and she and the team delivered everything we'd hoped for and more on the day.

The venue speaks for itself...stunning.

Making the space feel intimate and special was important and the expert advice was really appreciated.
We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience as did all our guests.

Thank you!

Magnificent Location and Experience

The Events Team management of the whole process was attentive and thorough. We both felt secure in the knowledge they were working closely with Suppliers and with us in mind.
We had a wonderful day and we don’t think the Team could have done anything more to ensure it was a memorable occasion for us.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
