WeddingsScaplen's Court & Garden

 Think candlelight on medieval stone, characterful period details, and the elegant Upper Hall, atmospheric, romantic, and wonderfully unfussy.

 

Tucked away and brimming with history, Scaplen’s Court is the kind of place where love stories feel right at home. With its exposed stone walls, medieval doorways and secret‑garden charm, every corner has a story to tell, and now, it gets to be part of yours.

 

From intimate 'I dos' in characterful rooms to ceremonies in the beautiful walled garden, there’s a space here to suit your vibe.

 

However you imagine your day, this wonderfully unique setting does the hard work for you.

A range of beautiful ceremony spaces are available, each offering its own unique character and charm. Our largest room, the Upper Hall, provides an impressive setting for ceremonies of up to 80 guests.

 

For more intimate gatherings, you can choose from a selection of equally special spaces, and our tranquil Walled Garden, a picturesque outdoor setting. Each space offers a distinctive atmosphere, allowing you to select the perfect backdrop for your celebration.

 

Venue hire is available from 2:30pm onwards, with ceremonies taking place at 3pm, 4pm or later, dependant on Registry Service availability.

 

Please remember, you’ll need to check Registrar availability and book their services to conduct your ceremony separately. 

 

A typical timeline for a 4pm ceremony might look like this:

3.30pm: Guests arrival

4pm: Ceremony begins

4.30 – 6pm: Drinks and canape reception

Not quite ready for the day to end? We don’t blame you. At Scaplen’s Court, you can extend your celebrations into the early evening, with exclusive hire available until 9pm, perfect for lingering drinks weith festoon lighting in our walled garden, a relaxed dinner, and soaking up every last moment together.

 

Whether it’s more toasts in the garden, a beautifully laid‑back meal, or simply extra time with your favourite people, this extra window fits seamlessly into the flow of the day.

 

If you’d like to explore this option, just let us know, we’ll happily share all the details (and costs) to help you plan.

 

Thinking about adding a little music? Live acoustic sets and gentle background music are very welcome and can bring a truly special atmosphere to the space. To protect the charm of this historic setting, we keep things softly in tune with the building, so while unplugged performances work beautifully, disco setups and full bands aren’t quite the right fit.

 

Effortless, atmospheric, and just the right amount of celebration.
