Congratulations on your enagagement!

If you dream of a wedding venue that feels relaxed, stylish and effortlessly you, The Locks Venue at Pyes Mill is the perfect place to begin your story.

Set beside the calm, glassy stretch of the Lancaster Canal, The Locks is a beautifully restored mill where modern style meets natural charm. It’s bright, warm and inviting, the kind of space where you instantly feel at ease and every moment feels meaningful. With open countryside, slow-moving water and wide skies all around, it offers a naturally romantic backdrop for celebrations that feel heartfelt and unforgettable.

At The Locks, your celebration flows seamlessly from “I do” to the last dance.
Choose to exchange vows in our beautifully designed ceremony suite or hold a church service at one of the charming nearby parish churches. Wherever you say your vows, the peaceful setting around Pyes Mill adds a sense of calm that sets the tone for your whole day.

Inside, The Locks blends soft stone textures, exposed beams and modern décor with open, airy spaces flooded with natural light. The wedding breakfast room feels elegant yet relaxed and can be styled to match your personalities, whether you imagine rustic romance, contemporary minimalism or bright, joyful colour. There’s plenty of room for seated dining, a dance floor and evening entertainment, making it just as perfect for intimate celebrations as it is for larger parties.

As day turns to evening, the venue takes on a warm, atmospheric glow ideal for live music, a DJ set, or a more laid-back, candlelit celebration. Along the canal and through the surrounding countryside, you’ll find endless photo opportunities, especially during sunset hour.

The Locks also offers beautifully designed on-site accommodation.

You will enjoy a luxurious Bridal Suite for the night of your wedding, with 20 additional bedrooms available for loved ones. Choose a flexible arrangement with rooms in the Bridal Wing only and exlusive venue use or opt for full venue and hotel exclusivity perfect for making the whole venue your own for the weekend.

Every room has been thoughtfully created with comfort and privacy in mind, so you and your guests can relax fully and enjoy the celebration without the need to travel. We have dog friendly rooms too.
