Planning the wedding of the year in Somerset?

Imagine celebrating your married life together in our breath-taking 800 year old medieval Palace in the heart of Wells, Somerset. Arrive by car or gentle stroll over the drawbridge, you and your guests can enjoy a glass of champagne, surrounded by 14 acres of stunning gardens.

Sit down to your wedding breakfast, created by expert chefs in our banqueting hall, the Undercroft with its vaulted ceiling and medieval architecture will not fail to impress your guests.

Following your wedding breakfast retire to the Long Gallery for coffee & cake, the perfect time to socialise with your friends and family. Then when you are ready start your evening celebrations by taking to the dance floor, for your first dance as a married couple. With all this you are promised a day to remember, surrounded by those you love.
