Willowmere Estate

Where your story begins

A Georgian jewel in the heart of the Cotswolds

Set within twelve acres of parkland, lakes, and walled gardens, Willowmere Estate has been home to celebrations since the house was first built in 1782.

Licensed for civil ceremonies since 2008, we welcome up to 150 guests for exclusive-use weddings throughout the year. Every couple gets the full estate to themselves — from the glass-roofed Orangery to the oak-panelled Great Hall, the Walled Garden to the lakeside Terrace.

Our small team knows every corner of this place, and we'll work with you to shape a day that feels entirely yours.
