Ceremony location options.

The Lowry

Situated in the heart of the school, the Lowry Dining Room is full of traditional charm and is brimming with timeless elegance. It features a vaulted ceiling adorned with ornate golden chandeliers and a minstrels’ gallery for your photographer to capture those all-important group photos or the moment you say ‘I do’.

The Ogilvie Room

Located near the Lowry Dining Room, the Ogilvie Room is the ideal venue for your bridal preparations, complete with comfy sofas and a full-length mirror for those last-minute checks before you walk down the aisle. It is also the perfect venue if you are looking for a smaller, intimate ceremony or a great place to escape to when you need to rest your dancing feet later in the evening.

Skinners Library

On selected dates throughout the year and with special permission from the Headmaster, Skinners’ Library is available for your wedding ceremony, drinks reception or canapés. During the winter months, the venue features a roaring fire and a towering Christmas tree decked with twinkling lights in the bay window. In the summer, an outdoor ceremony and drinks reception are also possible.

Old Big School Gallery

With its modern aesthetic and bright atmosphere, OBS Gallery is the perfect venue for any part of your special day. It features large stone windows to bathe your wedding in natural light, providing stunning photographs of your ceremony or wedding breakfast. In the evening, a bar can be set up in the adjacent room so that your guests can enjoy a drink as they dance the night away under the twinkling fairy lights.

Big School.

Located adjacent to OBS Gallery, Big School is our largest function room and features a stage perfect for your band or DJ to get everyone in the dancing mood! While this venue is best suited for your evening reception with cold buffets, it is also a popular choice for couples looking to bring in external caterers as a marquee can be set up adjacent to the function room for them to work from. Please get in touch to discuss further.

The Orchard Centre.

Situated on the first floor, the Orchard Centre offers stunning panoramic views from the balcony overlooking the school’s renowned cricket pitch, The Head. With a capacity of up to 150 guests, it is an ideal venue for large wedding parties and is particularly well-suited to couples seeking a relaxed, informal atmosphere with a buffet or hog roast menu.
