The Spread Eagle

About The Spread Eagle Hotel

The Spread Eagle Hotel in the Oxfordshire market town of Thame sits at the heart of Cornmarket, its origins reaching back to the 16th century. Its historic streetscape setting frames a hotel with 35 individually styled bedrooms and a selection of licensed spaces where couples can plan civil ceremonies, receptions and celebrations.

There are multiple licensed areas for civil ceremonies, giving flexibility in how a couple’s day begins. The Fothergill Suite is light and neutral in tone and can hold larger gatherings of up to 160 guests. Smaller weddings can take place in the Augustus John Room, which includes a large fireplace, bookcases and exposed beams, or in one of the Bridal Garden Suites for very small ceremonies. When weather allows, an outdoor option on the Garden Wing Lawn is available.

Once vows are exchanged, the hotel’s grounds are available for drinks receptions and wedding photography. As a venue with both large and small banqueting spaces, it can be used for seated wedding breakfasts and evening celebrations. Throughout the planning process the hotel includes an event planner to work with couples on arrangements and logistics.

Accommodation is integrated into the wedding experience, with 35 bedrooms allowing couples and their guests to stay on site in individually styled rooms. The hotel’s central position in Thame makes local shops, restaurants and transport links easily accessible.
