VENUE INFORMATION
Located approximately 10 miles from Bridgwater, 5 miles from Axbridge, and 4 miles from Highbridge, our venue is nestled in the historic village of Mark, Somerset, England.

The village holds a rich history dating back to the 5th and 6th centuries, with the Mark Yeo River playing a crucial role in the region's development.

The White Horse Inn, situated on the Abbots Causeway, has historical significance, initially being a one-roomed Cider House with a Victorian extension. Built on the site of the ancient High Hall of the Abbots of Glastonbury, it played a vital role in transporting goods and passengers via the Mark Yeo River.

Today, the White Horse Inn is a quintessential English village inn with award-winning real ales and a delightful selection of small vineyard wines. Its diverse spaces, including the 'Parlour,' 'Lounge,' and 'Abbots Room,' cater to various preferences. The inn's focus on exceptional food is evident in its thoughtfully curated menus, prepared on-site with locally sourced ingredients.
