The Story

We want your wedding to be unique so we only offer a handful of dates every year, each with exclusive use of the mano...

Canford School Main Building is a Grade 1 listed manor house with origins tracing back to the Domesday Book, offering exclusive use of this distinctive estate for weddings throughout the year. Civil ceremonies accommodating 80 to 130 guests can take place in the Long Gallery or Old Library, whilst the 14th century Norman church provides an option for religious services. The baronial Great Hall, featuring a sweeping staircase and minstrels' gallery where the Prince of Wales once danced, hosts receptions for up to 130 guests for dining and up to 200 for evening celebrations.

With exclusive grounds access on your wedding day, couples may choose an outdoor ceremony overlooking the arboretum and parkland. In-house catering by Michelin-trained chefs creates bespoke menus tailored to your preferences. The venue's wedding planners work closely with you to realise your vision, drawing on an extensive network of local professionals or welcoming your own chosen suppliers to craft a truly personalised celebration.
