Our Spaces
Elizabethan Library
This eye-opening room is the choice of many.
The smell of beeswax on the ancient oak, the colourful book spines and the stunning plasterwork ceiling make the Library a place that will always evoke a sigh of awe from your guests.
Suitable for any weather.
Seats up to 94.
The Banqueting Hall
Many people say this is the jewel in Brinsop’s glittering crown. This breathtaking room has a soaring vaulted ceiling, built in 1180, and is steeped in history. If only it could speak!
We provide all the beautiful candles for you to make this room a real must to consider.
Suitable for any weather.
Direct access to The Courtyard and seats up to 120.
The Knot Barn
This brand new barn still maintains a wonderfully rustic feel, being made from old oak. A fabulous bespoke space, it has all mod cons – we have tried to think of everything!
Glazed windows and doors open onto stunning landscaped gardens and open fields with The Love Knot Lawn to one side leading to the Woodland and The London Plane Glade.
Suitable for any weather.
Seats a maximum of 180 to dine and up to 250 for your evening party.
The Courtyard
The ancient, well cared for courtyard sits in the very centre of Brinsop’s history. Its beautifully lit central pergola is the perfect place for a romantic and meaningful wedding ceremony.
Arrive through one of the old oak doors, perhaps down the stone steps with all eyes on you for a touch of fairytale drama, before making your way to the pergola for the ceremony.
Wonderful for sunny or overcast days. Protected from breezes.
Seats up to 150.
Wordsworth Lawn
A perfect lawn surrounded by the moat on 3 sides with far-reaching views to hills, woodlands and surrounding estate.
The sparkling moat is filled with baby ducks in spring and lilies in the summer and wonderful water features – including swans!
Perfect for a calm, sunny day.
Seats up to 180.
Cricket Pitch Lawn & Cedar Tree
This enormous lawn has room for hundreds! It spans the length of the Court and runs alongside the Bailey walkway and the Moat.
An ancient cedar is situated at the far end and makes the most picturesque setting for your marriage ceremony.
Or maybe you would like a large affair – a marquee for hundreds? This is your spot! Nearby fields and hard parking is available.
Seats up to 500.
London Plane Glade
This idyllic woodland ceremony area is set in a piece of our adjacent woodland within a circle of beautiful London Plane trees. Just heavenly.
It has rustic seating, beautiful fairy lighting, sheepskins, firepits – you name it!
Distant enough to feel private and special but near enough to be convenient for your guests, this is a wonderfully romantic spot for couples to tie the knot.
Suitable for most weather, except very heavy rain.
Seats up to 180.
The Astley Pergola
This timber-framed pergola sits on the Astley lawn and provides the most lovely place for larger groups. The ceremony can take place using the lovely boardwalk and pagoda and guests can witness the ceremony and still be sheltered from the weather. We will be able to provide sides if the weather is really tempestuous!
The Pergola provides the perfect spot to combine the antiquity of Brinsop Court House with the new of The Knot Barn.
Suitable for all weather.
Seats up to 200.
St Georges, Brinsop
This charming 12th Century church is located close to Brinsop Court. A very short car ride away – about 2 minutes. It is magically set in a field very near our own lake – Church Waters – and has seen many beautiful Brinsop marriage ceremonies.
If you do not live nearby, the vicar will speak to you regarding attendance at some services prior to your wedding day. Not a hardship – when you can pop by and see your lovely venue at the same time!
There is room for parking – by arrangement – with our neighbours.
Seats up to 130.

What Our Guests Say
“We fell in love with Brinsop after viewing many other venues. Being local to Herefordshire we had lots of choice but Brinsop had everything we wanted and more! Beautiful grounds, lots of accommodation, the Knot Barn for our reception and the stunning Manor House to spend the weekend with our nearest and dearest. Daisy was a particular joy in helping our day run smoothly and filled us with reassurance and trust. Our only wish is to have stayed longer! Truly the best weekend and we would do it all over again.”

“Absolutely incredible venue and team of staff who made our day absolutely perfect. Our ceremony on the cricket pitch lawn on a beautiful summers day couldn’t have been more perfect, it was everything we’d hoped for and Brinsop staff ensured everything went smoothly. We have so many gorgeous photos of us around the beautiful grounds, Manor House and The Knot. We had our wedding breakfast in the Banquet Hall which was stunning then our evening reception in the beautiful Knot Barn. Our only wish was that we stayed longer. Thank god we had incredible photographers who captured so many memories from our perfect day.”

“When we visited Brinsop, the beauty of the surroundings and the Knot Barn stole our heart. We were truly lucky with the weather, allowing us to have Brinsop’s first outdoor wedding of the year and it was beautiful. Daisy and the team couldn’t have been more helpful without being intrusive. When my brother came came down with covid on the day of the wedding, they did what they could to allow him to FaceTime so he was still there in some way. Nothing was too much trouble for the team, changing the seating plan last minute and also sorting his room booking. The team at Brinsop really are a credit to them and make it much more than just a beautiful venue.“
