The Venue at Golborne

An Outdoor Wedding Venue in Cheshire

The Venue at Golborne is an outdoor wedding venue in Cheshire. The lakeside event and wedding venue sits 15 minutes from Chester. Although there are camping and glamping options onsite, we also have agreements with nearby hotels so your guests have a number of options of where they can stay.

The deck and man-made beach are perfect for sitting back and enjoying the stunning sunsets that the Cheshire countryside offers. There are also opportunities for firepits and glamping for anyone so inclined.

The wildflower meadows and woodland hammocks also offer a relaxed vibe for your perfect event.

What Makes Us Different?

Our packages include the land hire fee plus boring but important bits like luxury toilets, power and distribution that all wedding venues need. 

The difference between our venue and others is the support we offer behind the scenes. The idea of getting married or having your party outdoors appeals to many people, and why wouldn’t it? The beautiful scenery, the fresh air and the option to have every element of the day exactly as you planned it.

But doing everything yourself means that either you, or one of your friends or family, need to be on hand throughout the entire day, just in case something goes wrong. By choosing The Venue at Golborne, all of the behind the scenes stuff is left to us, so that you can relax and be part of the party.

Can I bring my own suppliers?

The only supplier we insist you use is one of our structural companies. We work with The Canvas Tent Company, Tipi Unique and Elite Tents.

We do have an onsite caterer at The Venue at Golborne but you are welcome to bring in your preferred caterer at no charge – we just need to see their food hygiene and public liability insurance before the day. If you need any recommendations, just let us know.

Do you charge corkage if we bring our own drinks?

We have different packages available (see info below) but some include a corkage-free option so you can bring your own drinks. We will even chill and serve them for you at no extra charge.
