About Applewood Hall
Applewood Hall sits on the outskirts of Banham in the Norfolk countryside, offering a versatile marquee-lined event space with gardens and onsite accommodation for weddings. Couples can choose to hold a civil or celebrant ceremony in the Orchard Room, which has capacity for up to 90 people, or exchange vows outdoors in the landscaped garden beneath a gazebo.
The reception typically takes place in the main hall, a large, adaptable space with a dance floor and licensed bar that seats up to 200 guests and is reserved for exclusive use on your day. The venue sits adjacent to Banham Zoological Gardens, presenting opportunities for incorporating wildlife-themed moments or photos with animals as part of the wedding day. Onsite accommodation includes glamping pods and luxury shepherd’s cabins, allowing couples and their guests to stay close at hand after the celebration. From the morning of the wedding, the venue and gardens are available for exclusive use. A dedicated event team manages set-up and coordination through the day, with included elements such as furniture, a sound system, and parking onsite.
