SOUTH SOMERSET Spotlight on... Tie the knot in a local hotspot MIDELNEY MANOR 01458 252 377 | www.midelneymanor.co.uk Midelney Manor is a beautiful Elizabethan manor house surrounded by 17th-century walled gardens. As you arrive via the hall, you’ll find yourself immersed in a sense of history with its old family portraits, flagstone floors, Persian rugs and baby grand piano. Intimate “I dos” with 20 guests take place in the Van Wyk Room in the main house. This elegant 18th-century panelled drawing room overlooks the garden and its walls boast an array of paintings and miniature portraits. Larger ceremonies with up to 110 guests are hosted in the Potting Shed, a rustic barn structure in the heart of the gardens. With red-brick walls and exposed beams it’s an original and quirky space. A further ceremony option is Washams Woods. Located at the bottom of the garden, it’s a perfect spot for a magical woodland blessing. Receptions are hosted in the Round Garden alongside the Potting Shed, where a marquee, tipi or yurt can be set up for up to 150 guests. Alternatively, the versatile Potting Shed can be used as a reception space if weather prohibits the use of the gardens. It offers a fantastic bar lounge area too for guests to chill and relax when the music gets going in the marquee. All in all the venue can host 150 for a wedding breakfast and evening reception. It also offers a wine-tasting at the Manor where you can select your wine and fizz for the day. William Goddard Photography www.tarastattonphotography.com LOCAL VENUES 15
