Address
Askham Hall, Askham, Penrith, Cumbria, CA10 2SH
Askham Hall is a historic country house estate near Penrith — a relaxed, characterful venue that blends centuries of history with a warm, informal atmosphere.
Dating back to the 14th century, Askham Hall was the family seat of the Lowther family for generations. Today it operates as a boutique hotel and restaurant with a Michelin-starred chef, offering couples a wedding venue that is rich in history yet refreshingly unstuffy.
The venue offers exclusive-use weddings with ceremonies in the gorgeous gardens, the medieval hall, or the intimate chapel. The walled gardens, herbaceous borders, and ancient topiary provide an array of stunning photographic settings — each corner of the estate offers a different mood and character.
Askham Hall is particularly suited to couples who want a wedding that feels relaxed, personal, and deeply connected to the landscape. The approach to food — seasonal, local, and grown in the estate's own kitchen garden — adds a layer of authenticity that couples and guests love.
