Hidden away in the wild beauty of the Norfolk countryside, Mannington provides an enchanting backdrop for your wedding celebrations. Surrounded by sweeping gardens, centuries-old trees, and tranquil grounds, it feels as though time slows down, making space for moments you will cherish forever.
While Mannington is not licensed for legal wedding ceremonies, we warmly welcome couples planning celebrant-led or blessing-style ceremonies alongside their reception and celebrations. This allows you the freedom to create a day entirely your own, shaped by your vision and style.
Whether you imagine a garden ceremony beneath the trees, a relaxed gathering with loved ones, or something entirely unique, our team can offer as much or as little support as you need throughout the planning process. Your hire includes access to the private gardens and grounds, including a marquee site with views across the medieval moated hall, and two nights’ on-site accommodation for up to 12 guests in our charming cottages, Rose Cottage and Garden House.
For a magical outdoor experience, Amber’s Bell Tent Company provides beautifully furnished bell tents, bookable individually or as a full wedding glamping village adjacent to the grounds, ideal for guests wishing to stay close to the heart of the celebration.
A member of our team will be on hand during setup, throughout your wedding day, and the following morning to ensure everything runs smoothly. For additional support, a dedicated planner can be arranged for an extra fee.
You are welcome to choose all your own suppliers, and we do not charge corkage. Every celebration at Mannington is unique and shaped by the people who bring it to life. To explore what’s possible, we warmly invite you to get in touch or arrange a visit to the estate.
