Visit to Newstead Abbey Nottingham

Posted on November 3, 2007 in the Wedding Venues category

Me and my fiance Dave went to visit Newstead Abbey which we are considering as a venue for our civil ceremony. Its about 90 miles from worcester so thats about 1hr 45 mins drive which is quite far but we both really like it so at the moment its Number 1 on our list.

The walk upto Newstead Abbey. You have to park your car about 200 yards from the Abbey so all our guests will have to walk up the drive. There is parking at the front for disabled people and you are also allowed 2 wedding cars to park at the front of the abbey.

The Cloisters - the walk up to the ceremony room. They also supply little plants that are placed up this walk way.

The Garden Room is where the guests can have a drink whilst you’re taking pictures in the gardens. This room is charged at £150 per hour and you have to add on prices for drinks and glasses etc on top of that.

The West Room - they only have 1 function room for a wedding reception and it only seats 80 people.

Me and the back of the abbey, behind me is the garden which is where we come out of after the ceremony.

The Japanese garden which I think is pretty but not accessible for Brides as its quite a long walk away and your dress will get very dirty.
