The Dovecote at Royal Arms Hotel
About this space
Enjoy your civil wedding ceremony in the Dovecote, a rustic barn space prepared to hold up to 65 guests. If you’re planning a larger reception, it can be extended with airy marquees placed on the acre of rolling land behind the barn. Finish off the tables and ceilings with your favorite decorative touches and prepare for a truly unforgettable night!
Invite your loved ones to a cosy ceremony with theatre-style seating. After you have exchanged your vows, round tables can be arranged for a wonderful wedding dinner. Luxurious drinks from the custom-built bar are sure to liven up your celebration.
Depending on your needs, evening or all-day hire is possible. The venue can provide a dance floor on request. You can also play games on the lawns surrounding the Dovecote or visit the Royal Arms’ rose garden for wedding and family photos. The wedding coordinator will make sure that your celebration lives up to all your expectations.
