About Stirk House Hotel

Welcome to Stirk House, a Majestic 17th Century Manor House wedding venue with a license for ceremonies in Clitheroe in the most spellbinding surroundings. With beautiful gardens, an ancient woodland and countryside views as far as the eye can see, Stirk House resonates romance throughout and is often likened to a real-life fairytale setting. One of the most special days of your lives requires a venue to suit and there’s nowhere quite like Stirk House.

Whether it’s a sensational summer or an atmospheric autumn backdrop you’re dreaming of for your wedding pictures, the setting at Stirk House provides an abundance of unique photo opportunities. As well as having panoramic views of the surrounding Ribble Valley countryside, the grounds are a tranquil haven for wildlife, with 22 acres of beautiful gardens, a nature trail and even an ancient forest.

Work with our award-winning in-house wedding team to make your dream day a reality with a completely bespoke service, individually tailored to you. With the flexibility of several function areas, spectacular food and a magical setting, your perfect day can be exactly how you’ve imagined it.

At Stirk House we specialise in creating those perfect memories for your special day. We can accommodate for both small, intimate ceremonies, to big luxurious parties, where we can seat 250 people for a sit down wedding breakfast. No matter how big or small your wedding is, the team are consistent in giving you the upmost attention and ensuring everything runs smoothly on the day.

Our function suite is multi-purpose, meaning you can make the most of the space needed, whilst keeping certain areas closed off for a more intimate feel. The function suite has it's own bar, toilet facilities and a private lounge area, meaning you have certain areas that are exclusive for you.

Our function suite has a late license - so there is no need to worry the party will end too early! And once the main event has finished, our lounge bar is open to all residents wanting a night cap.

The wedding itself is not just limited to a one day experience. You will come in and meet with the wedding team numerous times, from wedding fayres to private appointments, wedding tasting sessions and many of our couples like to come and stay over to experience what Stirk House has to offer before the big day.

We look forward to meeting you and discussing your plans!
