About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2021

Last update: October 2024

Steeped in history and dripping with elegance, Walcot Hall nestles majestically within five acres of beautiful landscaped formal gardens, set within twenty-seven acres of parkland in the North Lincolnshire countryside.

Winner of a raft of Awards, including TripAdvisor's Traveler's Choice Award for 2022, and nominee for Awards from top bridal platforms such as Bridebook and Hitched, Walcot Hall offers a wedding experience you are unlikely to find anywhere else in the UK.

Walcot Hall is a Grade II listed Georgian Hall built in 1726, and from being welcomed by the wrought iron gates and transported along the sweeping gravel driveway (which makes for a great photo opportunity!); to arriving to revel in the splendour of the Hall itself; every inch of the Estate oozes luxury, romance, and grandeur.

Once arrived, a secret passageway tempts you through into the tranquillity of the fountain garden, resplendent in lavender and bush roses. With greenery and flora as far as the eye can see, you are guaranteed to feel as though you have been conveyed back through time to an era in which the hustle and bustle of the technology-driven modern world melt away.

Facilities and Capacity

Ceremonies at Walcot Hall can be held in several breathtaking outdoor locations, including our popular Enchanted Forest and Secret Garden venues, which can be stunningly decorated to meet your exact specifications.

Expecting cooler weather or looking for an indoor location? Our stunning 18th-century room, with Viennese crystal chandeliers and tall windows overlooking the grounds, is perfect for indoor ceremonies. After tying the knot, you and your guests can make your way to the beautiful fountain terrace gardens for champagne and canapes before moving on to your drinks reception, framed by the tranquillity of the fountain and five acres of formal gardens.

Wedding breakfasts can take place inside the Hall or outside on the grounds in the marquee, which can accommodate as many as 400 people. If you choose the marquee, a candlelit path and a bridge illuminated by fairy lights will ensure that the whole experience is an unforgettable one from start to finish.

Once inside our marquee, you are free to dance the night away, making the most of our exquisite black-and-white chequered dance floor and basking under the reflected glow of our starry-night canopy.

Services Offered

From your very first contact with our amazing wedding team, you will be afforded the kind of VIP and individualised experience that every bride deserves! Starting with a private viewing appointment; which will offer you the chance to get a guided tour of the estate and spend time talking about your dream day; all the way through to the very last minute of your stay with us, we will endeavour to make every moment the most beautiful experience you could ever imagine.

Comprehensive rental packages come with tableware, linens, chairs, sashes, and bar and wine service.

Accommodation is available on-site in form of 7 luxuriously-appointed bedrooms within the Hall itself, as well as in our incredible Apple blossom Yurt and Snowdrop Lodge, which each have their own bathroom and kitchen facilities, as well as private hot tubs. If you are wishing to book accommodation for you or your guests, we are happy to provide details of how this can be booked during your viewing appointment, as this is separate to the wedding side of our bookings.

Amazing day made even better by the venue

We recently had our special day at the Walcot Hall Estate. The venue is beautiful in its setting and offers a piece of luxury without being over the top. We chose to have a Staycation wedding, with arrival on the Friday afternoon for the bridal party and close family guests staying at the Hall, that includes a home cooked meal on the Friday evening. This was a great way to relax into the weekend and start things off, as well as being able to enjoy the stunning décor of the venue.

The wedding was held on the Saturday with the ceremony taking place on the fountain terrace - thankfully the weather was perfect for this. To be surrounded by the greenery of the tress and shrubs, accented by the bright floral colours from the flowerbeds, made for a memorable occasion - as it should be. As there were a large number of guests for the reception, this was held in the marquee which is on-site. Walcot Hall Estate looked after the floral arrangements, as well as the venue styling in the marquee, and they did an amazing job. Everything matched together perfectly with a timeless and classy feel to it.

The owner, Cindy, wedding planner, Teresa, and all of the Hall’s staff were friendly and could not have done more for us to be helpful, both over the weekend and in advance of the day. So many things had already been taken care of that we were not expecting or even before we had thought of them.

As newbies to getting married, guidance from Walcot on what needed to be booked, and suggestions of who to use, was much appreciated and also took away much of the complexities to arranging the event. Overall, what was a magical day was made even more special by the venue and location we chose and we could not recommend it highly enough for anyone else.

Our fairytale dream

Walcot Hall is an amazing place that we loved from the moment we looked round. x The place is beautiful and full of character, and feels like a home rather than a just a house. They go out of their way to make your day perfect and unique.
The staff were phenomenal!!!
Teresa, Julie, Hannah, Cindy and everyone else involved go above and beyond and make the day as individual and quirky as you want.
We knew we wanted outdoor wedding but the weather wasn't looking promising. Not a problem, we have umbrellas, we can make it work, nothing stopped us and we were made to feel like the most important people in the world xx
Having the whole house for the wedding made it feel both relaxed and full of energy. The bar was well stocked and Hannah was always on hand to keep the drinks flowing xx
Our first meeting with Cindy she promised to make our dreams a reality, and make our wedding magical and unique, and she was right, everyone made it perfect for us. We was reminded that our day was for us, and our ideas was all that mattered even if people had to sit in the rain, or get cold haha x
I just wish we could do it again, Teresa and Julie become your family when planning your wedding, and the only negative I have to say is you miss them when it's over xxx

Fantastic family wedding

Our daughter and son in law were married at Walcot in August this year.
Cindy and the team went above and beyond to make their day go exactly as they planned and nothing was too much trouble.
All our guests commented on the incredible house and gardens and the stunning marquee.
We had the best day and truly the wedding of our daughter’s dreams.
Thank you to the Walcot Team from the bottom of our hearts.

Beautiful venue

The venue is absolutely stunning and the staff were amazing. There was nothing more we could’ve asked for. Food was fantastic, and exactly what we asked for, and the bar was a reasonable price. Big shout out to Cindy, Teresa, Hollie and Hannah for making our day special, and Julie for keeping me calm and planning the wedding!

Walcot Hall

We attended my daughter’s wedding here and it was a truly amazing day. We stayed the night before and the night of the wedding and it felt like we’d stepped into a fairytale. Cindy and her staff Julie and Teresa were on hand for every little detail. I cannot recommend this venue enough. If you are looking to be married in a truly special and unique place that will be in your memory forever, then choose Walcot Hall. You won’t be disappointed

Beautiful wedding

We visited for my sister’s wedding and all I can say is WOW! Everything was so well thought out. The venue is stunning and the staff are so organised and helpful. If I wasn’t already married I would absolutely want to get married here. It felt magical. The overnight rooms were also beautiful. I honestly couldn’t recommend it more. Thank you so so much.

Beautiful venue

The Walcot team and weddding planner have been amazing. We bought a wedding package just Uber a year ago and the whole team have been supportive during that time to ensure they made our day perfect. The team were great at responding to our messages and it was easy to communicate with them and they communicated well with other suppliers. My bridesmaids and I stayed the night before and they were very accompanying, making sure we were happy and relaxed. My husband and I had time to set up the day before for our wedding and our wedding planner was on hand to help out. On the day of our wedding the team were fantastic at making sure guests were checked in and happy before the wedding and during. They were very profession and no body noticed they were there. It is clear that the Walcott team are dedicated to their bride and grooms and want them all to have the best wedding day possible and will go above and beyond to make that happen.
Thank you everyone for making our special day run smoothly and be so relaxed.

The most beautiful location and venue imaginable - dream dream wedding venue!!

Not even sure where to start, Walcot Hall is just stunning, from the second you drive through the gates you are surrounded by greenery, gorgeous trees, flowers, colours - amazing! We were given the choice of a range of different locations to hold the ceremony, including a really beautiful ceremony room and different outdoor areas. We were told we could do anything to decorate to make it our own. The outdoor locations were absolutely incredible and we really would have liked to get married in the Enchanted Forest, but decided on the indoor ceremony room due to the time of year. We chose decor and colours, and the team made it look absolutely incredible - could not have wished for a better location and the views out over the Estate were amazing! The whole day went without hitch, and our guests loved being able to wander the grounds, play games on the grass, and chill in the marquee, which itself was spectacular!
Thank you Walcot team for making our day so special, and I really could not imagine having done it anywhere else!
