THE TALBOT 01483 225188 | www.thetalbotripley.com The Talbot is a landmark building in the picturesque village of Ripley with its ivy clad walls and distinctive period features. The archway that leads to the courtyard still retains the original gates and makes for a grand entrance and the cobbled courtyard is lit up at night by hundreds of fairy lights. The terrace and garden area are The Talbot’s secret gem. South facing with plenty of seating, it’s a place to enjoy reception drinks, afternoon tea or a barbeque. The woodland area that surrounds the back of The Talbot is also enjoyed by couples for engagement shoots as are the fields directly opposite. The Surrey Barns Bar accommodates up to 70 guests for your ceremony and boasts original beams and brickwork along with beautiful chandeliers. The Wisley Suite seats 100 guests for your nuptials and is a large bright room with high ceilings. For the evening celebrations, The Wisley Suite is the largest option and can hold up to 150 guests when combined with the Surrey Barns bar. This room has a dancefloor so your DJ can play for your guests until midnight. Guests can stay in one of the 43 bedrooms and couples are offered a menu tasting session, the honeymoon suite of the night of the wedding and a first anniversary stay with breakfast.
