Additional benefits are 8 beautifully decorated ensuite rooms each with a unique décor. These are included for the night of your celebrations and available for hire if additional nights are needed.

The perfect venue!
Hannah and Portia were really helpful in all aspects of organising our wedding. They answered our questions promptly and were very approachable. Morley Old Hall is a fantastic and beautiful venue that has been maintained with such care. It suited us perfectly! I would highly recommend choosing Morley Old Hall.

Hidden gem where dreams come true
In the search of a place to stay and celebrate our little ones’ baptisms we found Morley which had it all and more to inspire us to get married too! Portia and Hannah made it all happen for us in a very short time. I could have not asked for more. Everything went smooth, great communication, flexible and happy to go the extra mile for special moments. We occupied all their 9 bedrooms, some had extra beds arranged for children and in their solar meadow we put 6 bell tents next to the fire pit. The Piggery is so beautifully decorated that you could simply go without extra or very little accessories. There is a professional kitchen and a bar too which you can use as you wish or hire contractors to manage it all just the way you wish. We had amazing weather to make the most of the stunning orchard where we had pizza ovens and a bbq setup! In the evenings we moved next to the fire pit for marshmallows and more fun. There is a huge garden which also accommodated a bouncy castle and a play area for our little ones and not to forget their beautiful grounds available to walk around the Hall and say hi to the animals. The photos won’t do its justice, take the time to visit- it is all worth it🙂.

Simply perfect!
We had our wedding celebration party at Morley Old Hall September 2022. It was everything we ever wanted and more. We still get huge compliments from our friends on what a perfect day it was. We fell in love the moment we saw Morley Old Hall, the grounds are stunning and the rooms are beautifully decorated. Portia and Hannah made us feel incredibly welcome and gave us the confidence to make the party exactly how we wanted it. We felt part of the family when we eventually had to leave. They were laid back about things we wanted and a font of knowledge with local businesses that could possibly help. It’s great value for money and allowed us to stay within our budget while still achieving what we hoped for. We can’t wait to come back for an anniversary celebration soon!!!

A DIY dream in the country
Cannot thank the whole Morley team enough! We had the most wonderful few days at Morley, choosing to book some extra time so we could enjoy the beautiful venue. What really sold Morley to us was the fact we could tailor so much of the day to how we wanted it to be with freedom over decorating, ability for friends to camp, putting out gorgeous seating areas both inside and out and bringing in our own catering and bar staff. The fully equipped kitchen and great bar area gives users flexibility over the type of catering you can choose too. The communication from Portia and the support from the ground staff during our stay was second to none. Took so much stress off us too. I know it's a cliché to say you'd do it all over again, but I absolutely would have our wedding at Morley again if we chose to.

Dream came true wedding
From the very first viewing of Morley Old Hall we knew it was where we wanted our wedding. We viewed in January when everywhere was bleak, no leaves on the trees, cold and damp, we could see what a beautiful setting it was going to be. We watched everything come to life on our numerous visits up to our wedding in July. As it was second time round for both of us we wanted a relaxed bespoke wedding, we couldn't have wished for a better venue, Hannah was just the best guiding us through the process, the advise she gave us was invaluable allowing us to stay on budget, nothing was to much trouble, we choose all of our own suppliers which was great as it allowed us to shop around to get the best deals. The accommodation for our guests was perfect meaning that no one had to go home early allowing us to party all night. Our wedding day was perfect.

Describe the best wedding that happened at Morley Old Hall?

Well, I HAVE to say, my own! We had just renovated the house and cottages and it was our first big event. We had a traditional service at the church at the end of the lane and then our guests were driven by vintage bus back to the grounds. We had a marquee on the lawn with a bar under the willow tree with loads of fairy light and candles.
