About Knowsley Hall
Knowsley Hall is a luxury wedding venue in the North West of England. Privately owned by The Earl and Countess of Derby, this grand stately home has played host to royalty and esteemed guests for over five centuries. From the moment you drive through the magnificent gates onto the Knowsley estate, you will be completely mesmerised by the sheer size and splendour of the surroundings.
Knowsley Hall's stunning 18th-century Stucco Ballroom is licensed for civil ceremonies and partnerships and has a maximum capacity of up to 150 guests depending on layout. The room exudes romance with its beautiful and ornate gold-encrusted detail on the walls and ceiling. After the ceremony, head out to the terrace for reception drinks and canapés on a beautiful summer day. The terrace overlooks the manicured gardens and fountain, creating a stunning backdrop to capture wedding photographs. Don't miss the chance to capture a breathtaking photo by the lake with Knowsley Hall in the distance. Beyond its grandeur, Knowsley Hall offers cozy and intimate rooms, each adorned with exquisite interiors, magnificent artwork, and grand fireplaces.
Feel like King and Queen as you enter the magnificent State Dining Room, built for the visit of King George IV in 1820. Indulge in a three-course wedding breakfast cooked by our team of in-house chefs and courteously served by our team of waiting-on staff. As a seal of quality, every dish is personally tasted and approved by the Earl and Countess of Derby.
Extend the magic of your celebration by staying overnight in one of Knowsley Hall's 17 luxury bedrooms. Each room, individually designed by The Countess of Derby, is meticulously maintained by our dedicated housekeeping team. Knowsley Hall proudly retains the 5* Gold Award from Visit England for its accommodation.
Experience complete exclusivity of our stately home and gardens. Choose from seasonal all-inclusive wedding packages, which include welcome drinks, a choice of three trusted catering partners, white table linen, silver candelabras, chair covers and sash, a designated event manager, a master of ceremonies, and more. For flexibility, we also offer venue hire only with the option of bringing in an external caterer. Your wedding at Knowsley Hall promises to be a blend of luxury, history, and personalized elegance.
