About Hellens

Hellens is an exclusive hire wedding venue near the village of Much Marcle in Herefordshire. The estate dates back to at least 1057 when its owner was Harold Godwinson, the last Anglo-Saxon king of England. After his death at the Battle of Hastings, the estate was passed into Norman hands. From there, its owners tell the story of the successive years of English history, including the de Balun family, who witnessed the signing of the Magna Carta, and Helena Gleichen, Queen Victoria’s great-niece.

The surrounding gardens provide the ideal backdrop for the all-important wedding photos. These are filled with wildflowers and intriguing slices of the estate’s history, such as an imposing stone entrance gate. The ancient woodland and labyrinth make for equally unique locations for the first pictures as a married couple.

The Tudor-Jacobean manor house built on Hellens is still standing. Its interior is exactly faithful to when it was first constructed, including many original period features. The result is a unique and historic wedding venue. Hellens is licensed to conduct civil ceremonies, meaning the whole day can take place at a single venue. Ceremonies are typically hosted in the 16th century Great Barn. Filled with exposed beams, this seats up to 100 guests and can be decorated to best suit the couple’s personal taste. All weddings at Hellens are planned with this level of flexibility and bespoke design, resulting in experiences that create truly lasting memories.

The Great barn also plays host to the wedding breakfast. Hellens works with a range of local caterers to provide this, many of which prioritise sustainable, local produce. Once the evening reception is over, guests and the couple can stay over in one of the three ensuite double or seven single rooms. These are located in the Georgian Stables and all completely renovated to a high standard.
