Canford School

The Grade 1 listed Manor House, with its origins dating back to the Domesday book, provides a distinctive backdrop for your Civil Ceremony and reception. You can choose to dine in the Great Hall, featuring a sweeping staircase and minstrels' gallery where the Prince of Wales once danced, or opt for the intimate splendour of The Old Library. Enjoy exclusive access to the manor house and formal lawns on your wedding day, surrounded by views of the arboretum and parkland as you celebrate with your nearest and dearest.

Canford aims to make your wedding day truly special by providing exclusive use of the manor house and grounds on a limited number of dates each year. The Grade I listed building in Dorset offers a picturesque setting for civil ceremonies with 60 to 130 guests in the Old Library or Long Gallery. The reception can be held in the stunning Great Hall, with a maximum of 180 guests.

Facilities

The Baronial Great Hall stands out as the perfect choice for grand weddings, providing a majestic setting that is sure to impress. The sweeping staircase and minstrels' gallery add a touch of elegance and history to the venue, creating a truly memorable atmosphere for your special day. The fact that even the Prince of Wales once graced this hall with his presence adds an extra layer of prestige to the space, making it an ideal location for a celebration of such magnitude.

For those seeking a more intimate setting, the Long Gallery offers a charming alternative with its smaller scale splendour. The beautifully carved fireplace and wood panelling exude warmth and sophistication, creating a cosy and inviting space for a smaller wedding. This venue provides a sense of intimacy and closeness that is perfect for couples looking to share their special day with a select group of loved ones.

Opting for exclusive use of the grounds allows you the flexibility to host your reception outdoors, adding a touch of natural beauty to your wedding day. The Sunken Lawn, with its fountain and views of the arboretum and parkland, offers a picturesque backdrop for your celebration. Your guests can enjoy the stunning views while sipping on champagne, creating a relaxed and elegant atmosphere that is perfect for capturing beautiful wedding photographs that will be cherished for years to come.
