About

With its rustic and character-filled grounds, historic buildings and views over the beautiful Worcestershire scenery, the museum is a truly unique and romantic setting for your wedding!

Here at Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings we specialise in creating a unique and memorable day for our Brides & Grooms, along with your family and friends. We have been holding weddings at Avoncroft Museum for over 20 years and we pride ourselves on our excellent service with the personal touch.

New Guesten Hall, located near to the Museum
entrance, is licensed for civil ceremonies. The
Hall’s fourteenth-century roof was originally on
Worcester Cathedral’s reception hall for guests,
boasting beautifully detailed medieval carpentry.
It is a large and flexible space which can
accommodate up to 120 seated guests for your
ceremony and wedding breakfast, and up to 180
guests for a non-seated evening reception.
If you would prefer a smaller and more intimate
wedding venue, the Weaver Gallery, located above
the main hall, can comfortably hold up to 40
guests for your civil ceremony.
We also have our Edwardian Tea Room and Long room available for hire for smaller events.

Just emailing to say a huge “thank you” for all your support and attention to detail that helped Saturday to go off so well. We all had an amazing day. Many of our guests had not been to Avoncroft before and they were so complimentary about the venue, facilities and the train ride that we provided. It all meant that Beth and James had a wedding day to remember... and of course the sun shone!

This is such a quirky, special venue and they really pulled out all the stops to make sure that our day was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble, and we even had an 18th Century guard of honour after the ceremony thanks to the re-enactors that were there that weekend. Our guests are still talking about how fab it was.

Just a quick email to say thank-you for facilitating our special day, in so many ways.

Avoncroft is an absolutely beautiful wedding venue and we have very much appreciated the support that you have offered, particularly over the last few days where you were in demand from us quite often. We are so happy that we chose Avoncroft as our wedding venue and we can not wait to see the photos that we are going to get from the variety of locations across the site. The day ran incredibly smoothly and we would also happily recommend the bar and catering teams that you work with. Our photographer also said that she really enjoyed working at the venue. Please let us know if it would be helpful for us to do a recommendation, or help in any other way with your plan for publicising Avoncroft as a wedding venue, as you continue to work on growing its reputation as a wedding venue of choice.
Tom & Jess
Thank you so much for making our day so very wonderful! We both fell in love with Avoncroft and with all of your help and support you helped to make our dream come true. Thank you for a quality service and support and all of your communication.
Charlotte & Matt
Thank you so much for your help in organising our special day, & for letting us have our wedding at such an amazing venue. It was absolutely perfect.
Thanks again
Stefan & Jennifer
We are finally getting round to sending out thank you cards and the like and would just like to thank you for all your support in helping make our wedding day so special for us.
You were such a calming influence running up to the wedding and on the day itself which resulted in the day running perfectly. We were also very lucky with the weather too!!
All of our guests commented on just how wonderful Avoncroft was as a wedding venue and how good the afternoon tea was (the sausage rolls and the cakes have been mentioned on numerous occasions) so thank you to all the catering staff involved.
We wish you every success in the future and we would highly recommend getting married at Avoncroft to anyone.
