THE WOODYARD
An exclusive wedding venue on a private country estate in North Norfolk
In a quiet and tranquil lakeside setting on the 300 acre Worstead Park, our breathtaking corkage-free wedding venue offers a unique and secluded setting for your special day. Our beautifully restored thatched barn and sawmill along with luxury estate accommodation offers the perfect place to gather your closest family and friends for an unforgettable weekend.
THE DAY BEFORE
Our dedicated wedding team will be on hand with assistance and guidance with your set up along with suppliers.
We and the catering team will lay out tables and chairs ahead of your midday arrival so you can create those personal elements.
Once complete, we will do a full ceremony run through to ease any nerves.
Estate accommodation will be available from early evening to you and your guests to relax and enjoy the evening ahead of your big day.
ON THE DAY
Our experienced wedding team will be on site first thing in the morning, welcoming your suppliers back to the venue, assisting with any last minute details.
The venue co-ordinator supervises your suppliers, oversees your ceremony, and manages the entertainment on your behalf.
Most importantly we are here for you and your guests throughout an emotional day, to deliver a seamless, quality and personal service on your wedding day.
THE DAY AFTER
Relax knowing the majority, if not all of the tidying and packing away has been taken care of by our wedding team.
Our wedding team will ensure that all of your personal belongings, furnitures and decor are packed up ready for an easy collection the following day.
We will arrange directly with your supplier’s for their collections of any hired items, so you can start your honeymoon, enjoy a day after brunch or ensure you don’t miss any important goodbyes with guests.
The Thatched Barn
With its vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and brick walls, and soft lighting the Thatched Barn is our most romantic space. Working closely with you, our event management team will create a breath-taking space for an unforgettable ceremony.
Later on, when the sun is setting, enjoy after-dinner drinks on the West Terrace and your first dance in the Thatched Barn.
The Mulberry Room
Forming the southern wing of The Woodyard, and once home to the sawmill which now stands just outside, the Mulberry Room is our light and bright blank canvas: perfect for creating the wedding breakfast of your dreams. Working with our event management team you can dress The Mulberry Room to reflect your personal character and style.
Alternatively host your wedding ceremony in The Mulberry Room before retiring to the Thatched Barn for a candlelit supper.

Lake Island
Offering a truly unique setting to say “I do”, our lake island is a wonderfully scenic spot for a ceremony. Our newly-built summerhouse frames the bride and groom as they make their vows.
The neighbouring boathouse is the mooring for the You and I, our 1930s wooden rowing boat. Brides are invited to take a quiet moment with their father as he rows her across the lake to a memorable arrival at the island.

Accommodation
One of our favourite parts of hosting weddings is our ability to accommodate up to 31 of your guests across the estate, extending your celebrations across the whole of the weekend.
Our couples are given priority booking on our full range of accommodation, and our event management team would be pleased to discuss your requirements with you and make recommendations on which of our beautiful properties you might like to consider.
