Dauntsey Park House

Found between Dauntsey and Great Somerford, and south of Malmesbury, this historic medieval manor house hosts serene weddings all year round. As a private family home that permits a limited number of receptions per year, this exclusive events venue, two luxury guestrooms, its Drawing and Dining Rooms and extensive garden and grounds will be all yours for the day.

Make yourselves at home, and take advantage of the variety of spaces within the house. From the elegant Drawing and Dining Rooms to the immaculately-maintained South Lawn, which can accommodate a marquee for up to 500 guests - it's all yours! Stroll through the amazing gardens to find the tiny lake island, accessed via a little bridge - ideal for romantic wedding photos.

History

The outstanding Dauntsey Park House has its origins in the 14th century, held by the Dauntsey family from Malmesbury Abbey, before being subsequently passed on through many families across the years. With strong links to both Royalists and Parliament during the English Civil War, the building was latterly used as a nursery in the mid-20th century, run by the Anglo-American Red Cross for 150 Blitz children during WWII. With such history, the house has a prestigious Grade II*-listing.
