A stunning location for an outdoor celebration, the venue is popular with larger wedding parties who require a little more space, thanks to three linked giant tipis that seat up to 150 guests comfortably for your breakfast – or 180 at a squeeze. At Chalkney you don’t even have to worry about being booted out by midnight – here you can enjoy exclusive use of the venue for the whole weekend. Just imagine a celebration created entirely by yourselves; from delicious three course meals to succulent hog roasts with an endless choice of salad. Plus, no eye-watering drinks’ prices but a bespoke menu tailored just for you. Blessings take place on the lakeside willow pontoon, and after your reception you’ll find glamping accommodation available in luxurious bell tents. The venue also has two lakeside cabins conveniently situated a short walk away. If neither of these options are for you, the venue also works with local hotel partners to offer preferred and discounted rates. https://mattwing.co.uk https://mattwing.co.uk 19 LOCAL VENUES
