22 THE MANOR HOUSE, DAWLISH, DEVON This popular wedding venue is a Georgian building in the centre of the regency resort town of Dawlish, dotted with narrow streets, seaside shops and traditional tea rooms. It’s a community building with rooms available to hire for weddings and the popular Manor Gardens that surround it. Civil ceremonies take place in The Council Chamber (formerly the ballroom) and the Mayor’s Parlour, and both of these areas provide a traditional setting for the reception. Exclusive use of the building can be arranged for £795 for the day, and the venue is also licensed for commitment ceremonies and renewal of vows.
