Clough Bottom - Distinctive Country Weddings at Clough Bottom Farm

"We are proud to have the first Clough Bottom wedding reception and can't fault any aspect of the day and our stay. Jane and Harry have been so welcoming and thoughtful and it's lovely to experience sincere warmth and integrity from a venue. Since our first meeting with Vanessa we knew Clough Bottom would exceed our expectations. Rachael is an amazing chef and our wedding breakfast was just fantastic!  Thank you so much Jane, Harry and Vanessa for helping us to realise our dream wedding" Mr & Mrs Eden, December 2009

If you're looking for a different kind of wedding reception, one that is unique, peaceful and romantic then you might want to consider holding it at Clough Bottom.

A Clough Bottom wedding is about as far removed from the ‘traditional' wedding venue you could possibly imagine. We are not a large, faceless hotel that treats wedding receptions with uniform regularity and a conveyor belt frequency; we are a small family-owned business that is lucky enough to work in the most beautiful converted stone buildings, in the most stunning of rural surroundings, deep in the heart of the Trough of Bowland. 

We pride ourselves on providing a friendly, efficient and tailor made service that is flexible and accommodating. We'll work with you to help you realise your vision, so you can achieve the wedding reception of your dreams. Whether it's an Arabian tent themed marquee, or a smaller, more intimate garden party feel you want to achieve - a Clough Bottom wedding reception can be as unique as you are.

The Out Barn

A popular Summer option (and perfect for larger numbers) is to hire our Out barn that has spectacular views of open countryside and Pendle Hill and have a marquee on the lawn in front of it. Situated in the most idyllic of settings it has wonderful rural views and is the perfect venue for a very special country-style wedding. The detached, characterful barn has one double aspect downstairs room which can accommodate up to 50 standing or 30 seated on tables of 6. It has two dining rooms upstairs with refectory style dining furniture and its own kitchen and w.c.s. For larger numbers, then a marquee on the lawn is the perfect option.

The Middle Barn

For a smaller, more intimate wedding reception then our Middle Barn might be the venue for you. This stunning 17^th century barn is packed with original features including flagged floor, exposed stone walls and beams, and has a first floor mezzanine and its own dining room with bi-fold glazed doors opening up on to a graveled patio area.  For a more formal wedding breakfast, it can seat a maximum of 60, for a more informal reception - perhaps with a buffet - the Middle Barn can accommodate 100 comfortably.
