The Grade I listed landmark is gorgeous both in its exterior and interior. Kelham Hall is a classic example of Gothic revival architecture, with opulence and splendour in every detail. There are many picturesque backdrops throughout the Victorian building, and of course the exterior is also perfect for capturing the most amazing wedding photos.
This location is especially perfect for lovers of history. The estate was designed and completed by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1863, however this is actually the third building to stand at Kelham Hall. The Manners Sutton family built the first Kelham Hall in the 1650s which was destroyed by a fire in 1728, and a second was built shortly after but was destroyed by a fire in 1857. Luckily the third building has managed to survive (obviously)!
So, let’s take a look inside...
The Great Hall

The Great Hall is a stunning, spacious room built in 1927 by Anglican Monks. It is the second-largest concrete dome in England and has many original features. It features a sizeable bar, which can lead to a marquee. This room can hold 400 for a wedding breakfast or 650 for a ceremony.
The Carriage Court
