Dauntsey Park House

Dauntsey Park House is a distinctive country house venue in Wiltshire, set beside the River Avon and surrounded by gardens, parkland, woodland, a lake and an orchard. Its historic character, flexible spaces and private setting make it well suited to weddings, receptions, photo shoots, filming and selected corporate or outdoor events.

For weddings, the venue offers an elegant Edwardian drawing room for drinks receptions, with large windows overlooking the south lawn and direct access to the gardens and neighbouring church. Larger celebrations can make use of a marquee on the south lawn, with capacity for up to 500 guests. The grounds also provide several attractive settings for outdoor gatherings and wedding photography, including the lakeside area, parkland and riverside surroundings. The adjacent historic Church of St James offers an atmospheric setting for religious ceremonies, subject to arrangements with the church.

The house can also accommodate events that require a more unusual backdrop. Its reception rooms, period details and varied interiors are suitable for photography, filming, conferences, shoots and private functions, while the extensive grounds add further scope for outdoor productions and brand imagery. The property has previously been used as a filming location and offers a blend of traditional architecture and carefully restored interiors.

Organisers and guests can stay on site in two spacious en-suite bedrooms, with additional bedrooms available for larger parties. The accommodation includes a large double room and an elegant twin room, while breakfast is prepared with locally sourced ingredients and produce from the gardens and orchard. With its heritage setting, flexible event areas and peaceful rural atmosphere, Dauntsey Park House offers a memorable alternative to a hotel or conventional function venue.
