Ribble valley Wedding Heaven
Once discovered, never forgotten.
The Ribble Valley is the perfect place for escaping the frantic pace of everyday life, whatever time of year. As the Food Capital of Lancashire, it is a place with a rich heritage and generous hospitality, set in the stunning landscape of the Forest of Bowland in Lancashire.
Time appears to have bypassed this historic area, leaving it immersed in fascinating history, including the stunning Clitheroe Castle, the Roman sites at Ribchester and the famous Abbeys at Whalley and Sawley. The two historic market towns of Clitheroe and Longridge are surrounded by picturesque villages set in serene and unspoilt countryside. It is this timeless beauty, along with the warm hospitality, which attracts visitors to return time and time again.
An occasion as special as a wedding needs a tailored, attentive service, in a breathtaking venue. Here in the Ribble Valley, not only is there a stunning range of beautiful wedding venues, but also experienced people dedicated to ensuring that each and every wedding is memorable and unique. The exquisite selection of venues ranges from buildings steeped in historic splendour to exclusive contemporary facilities. There are venues for intimate occasions and also venues for large celebrations. Each venue has its own unique atmosphere but all of them share the backdrop of the beautiful Ribble Valley.
