At the foot of Bosley Cloud, beside the River Dane in the heart of the Cheshire countryside, weddings at Swanley Meadows come surrounded by rural charm. It’s the chance to curate a totally unique big day, hidden away down a winding track at the bottom of founder Jenny’s family farm. Whether you’re hoping to say ‘I do’ in fairytale surroundings or host an outdoor tipi reception to outdo all the rest, Swanley Meadows has all the ingredients for a dreamy wedding day.
From the tranquil banks of the river to the wildflower meadow packed with vibrant blooms Swanley Meadows is a wedding photographer’s dream. Available from May til September, against the tree line you’ll find four interconnected tipis to accommodate 150 guests for a seated dinner and 200 for a reception. Each can be divided to create separate areas for your wedding needs, whether they be dancefloor, entertainment, or drinks-related. A large catering tent can also be provided for your chosen caterer, while an expert bar team offers various drinks packages to suit your vision.
Outdoor wedding ceremonies at Swanley Meadows benefit from the same flexibility. You might choose to exchange your vows under a majestic 200-year-old beech tree, which can be dressed up to suit, and you can have the tipis on standby, just in case the skies refuse to behave. After your vows, you can also include a tree-planting ceremony, creating a living symbol of your story that you can revisit again and again.
Swanley Meadows also offers ample field space to host lawn games, picnics and interactive entertainment. And after dark, the event can transform with the warm soft glow from fire pits dotted around while you celebrate under the stars. Plus, with glamping tents available for hire, you need not worry about post-party transport.
