About Downham Hall

Apart from luxurious accommodation and delicious seasonal food, Downham Hall also offers fantastic event spaces with garden access.
Set amongst beautiful grounds and partially moated, this family-run hotel is a gorgeous wedding venue. It is licensed for civil ceremonies and welcomes same sex marriages.
With a relaxed atmosphere, impeccable service and wonderful scenery for photographs, it has everything you need to host the wedding of your dreams!
The venue is located in Downham, Essex. The picturesque village is part of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offering beautiful scenery for walks among nature.
