Winter Weddings at Owlpen Manor – A Festival of Light
Nestled in a secluded valley, Owlpen is the perfect fairy‑tale backdrop for your winter celebration.
In the winter it is all about sparkles, crackles, shimmers and glitters with different kinds of dancing light everywhere. We are talking fairy lights, sparks flying from the fire, sparklers swirling outside, glitter balls firing points of light on the dancefloor, and candles everywhere at dinner time.
Did we mention all of this is included in the price? So you don’t need to worry about sourcing all of these touches for yourself.
As well as dazzling lighting we love to go long on the warming drinks, which you can enjoy beside the roaring fires both inside and out.
Our romantic and historic Cotswold valley is exclusively available for intimate weddings between November and the end of March.
