Gorcott Hall | Historic Tudor Wedding Venue in Redditch
A Stunning Wedding Venue Steeped in History
Nestled in the heart of Shakespeare's Warwickshire, Gorcott Hall is a testament to Tudor craftsmanship and timeless elegance. This Grade II* listed building offers five acres of meticulously maintained grounds, creating the perfect setting for couples seeking an exclusive wedding venue with character and charm. Located in Mappleborough Green near Redditch, this historic gem provides an idyllic backdrop for your special day, whether planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration.
Exclusive Use for Your Perfect Day
Unlike other venues that host multiple events simultaneously, Gorcott Hall offers exclusive hire for your wedding day, ensuring you and your guests receive undivided attention from the dedicated team. This exclusive use policy means the entire Tudor hall, wedding barn, gorgeous gardens, and courtyard are yours alone to enjoy. The limited number of weddings hosted each year maintains the venue's exclusive appeal and allows the staff to focus entirely on making your celebration flawless.
Ceremony Spaces Filled with Character
Gorcott Hall is licensed for civil ceremonies in multiple spaces throughout the property. The main hall, with its original timber beams, open fireplaces, and exposed brickwork, provides a romantic setting for exchanging vows. Natural light floods through the French windows, illuminating the centuries-old flagstones beneath your feet—the same flagstones that have witnessed countless celebrations since Tudor times. For those preferring an outdoor ceremony, the beautifully maintained gardens offer several picturesque locations with the historic hall as your backdrop.
The venue's unique lighting conditions and historical features create perfect opportunities for documentary-style photography that tells your unique story.
From Drinks Reception to Wedding Breakfast
Following your ceremony, welcome guests to a drinks reception in the courtyard, gardens (weather permitting), or charming interior spaces. The wedding barn, a stunning conversion that balances rustic charm with elegant comfort, provides the perfect venue for your wedding breakfast. Original features have been lovingly preserved and enhanced with modern amenities, creating a space accommodating traditional and contemporary needs. The barn's soaring ceiling and abundant windows ensure a bright, airy atmosphere throughout your celebration.
A Spectacular Evening Party
Gorcott Hall transforms for your evening party as the day turns to evening. The barn's versatile space adapts perfectly from formal dining to lively celebration, with ample room for a band or DJ, dancing, and evening refreshments. The courtyard, softly lit as twilight descends, offers a peaceful retreat for guests seeking conversation away from the music. Your friends and family will appreciate the seamless transition from day to evening festivities, all within the exclusive setting of this remarkable venue.
Sumptuous Accommodation for the Wedding Party
The bride and groom can prepare for their day in style with Gorcott Hall's sumptuous bridal gown suite. This beautifully appointed room provides a tranquil space for preparation and those precious moments before the ceremony. After celebrating into the night, retire to the romantic honeymoon suite, where luxury and comfort ensure a perfect end to your wedding night. Select guests can also stay overnight, with additional accommodation available—a convenient option for those travelling beyond Stratford-upon-Avon or the surrounding areas.
