REGIONAL VENUES 23  & MISSENDEN ABBEY, HP16 0BD This historic venue has everything you need for your dream wedding, from the refined splendour of the 12th-century abbey to the gorgeous view of the Chilterns. You can make a dramatic entrance down the double staircase and enjoy your day surrounded by medieval features such as flint walls, vaulted ceilings and stained-glass windows. The lawns are perfect for reception drinks or a marquee, and there’s a 400-year-old cedar tree and an old summerhouse above the Misbourne River for grand big-day backdrops.
