Country House Description: The magnificent National Trust owned Nostell Priory is situated in the heart of the West Yorkshire countryside, not far from Wakefield. Nostell Priory is a beautiful Country House which is currently under-going a £6million face-lift including an upgrade to the wedding facilities which will be completed in December 2011. There are just a handful of dates left for next Summer, but we are offering some great packages for Spring weddings so it is still possible to book this popular venue for your perfect wedding!
Dine offers exclusive use of the Riding School, Rose Garden and The Orangery at Nostell Priory for your wedding.
The exquisite Top Hall situated in the main house itself is the perfect setting for a Civil Ceremony with immediate access onto the main balcony, providing you and your a lovely view of the estate before moving on to your drinks reception in the Rose Garden. In addition, St Michael and Our Lady Church is situated on the Estate and offers an equally splendid location for your marriage.
After the ceremony, you and your guests can celebrate your wedding in the delightful Grade One listed Riding School. Designed by Robert Adam and recently refurbished, the Riding school offers stylish dining in complete privacy. From the Riding School, you step straight out into the beautiful Rose Garden, which is exclusively for your own private use during your Reception; venture further and discover 350 acres of breathtaking parkland and delightful formal gardens that surround this 18th Century treasure.
