A Wedding Venue for Every Season
Autumnal and Winter Wonderland Weddings
If you have always dreamed of that cosy autumnal or romantic Winter Wonderland wedding, then look no further. Autumn brings spectacular colours to the grounds and is perfect for a cosy and warm wedding feel. In winter, the Lake District can be a speculator wonderland for the perfect wedding – think mulled wine and festive cocktails, roaring fires, and dramatic backdrops for those weddings snaps.

Spring and Summer Weddings
In spring and summer, the Swan grounds come alive and there is no other way of describing it other than absolutely breathtaking. Sunny weather allows for drinks and canapés to be enjoyed on the lawn in front of the river, soaking up the sun with the drinks of your choice, perhaps a refreshing gin, an ice cold beer, or a timeless glass of fizz. It’s a setting that naturally brings everyone together, from those first “hello’s” to the last song of the night.
Spring weddings have that fresh, romantic feel, while summer brings the extra magic of warm afternoons and golden evenings which is perfect for making the most of our grounds and capturing that unforgettable feeling for your wedding.
And because we’re surrounded by the natural beauty of the Lake District, your wedding snaps will look incredible in every direction, whatever your plans look like.
Wedding Catering
…and delicious drinks
If you and your guests are partial to a tipple or two, our options for reception drinks is pretty extensive. Choose from champagne, prosecco, beer, cocktails, mulled wine, or gin and tonics.
We offer a fabulous selection of wines to accompany your meal and a glass of champagne is a must for toasting the speeches!
