Lyde Arundel

Lyde Arundel is a countryside venue near Hereford, set among converted farm buildings, gardens, courtyards and a lake. Its main spaces are The Haywain, a characterful barn with an oak floor and fireplace, and the larger Great Hall, whose stonework and exposed beams give it a distinctive setting for celebrations. Used together, the barns can accommodate wedding receptions for up to 200 seated guests, while The Haywain can host smaller gatherings of up to 100.

Weddings are a central part of the venue's offering. Couples can hold a civil ceremony in one of the barns or in the garden summerhouse, then continue with drinks, a reception and dancing on site. The grounds provide space for photographs and outdoor moments, while the indoor rooms offer a setting suited to both formal meals and evening celebrations. The venue also welcomes other special occasions and private events, with bespoke arrangements for groups of 30 or more.

Bookings include exclusive use of the selected spaces and access to the gardens and courtyards.

The team offers planning advice and can share contacts for event suppliers such as florists, bands and DJs, helping organisers shape the day around their requirements.
