Description:
“Turning once upon a time into happily ever after”

What could be more romantic than a wedding in an historic 17th century Mansion set deep in the Somerset countryside?

When you are planning that stunning once in a lifetime event, you will want an exquisitely dressed stage that will make your big day unforgettable. Halswell, yours exclusively for the day, should not shrink into the background, but play a major role at your wedding. It should offer character, history and beauty. It should put your guests at ease, and encourage them to stroll, mingle and talk. It should be the starting point for beautiful memories that linger long after everyone has departed. For that, you need an exceptional location – Halswell.

There are six principal rooms, beautiful and opulent, with grand sweeping staircases. With thirty-one suites and bedrooms, all en-suite, as well as self-contained character cottages on the estate, Halswell can provide the perfect exclusive setting for your special day.
