Weddings at Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse

Set in the heart of Norfolk countryside, Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse offers a unique venue licensed for your marriage or civil partnership ceremony.

With its Georgian symmetry and distinctive red brick façade, the main building was constructed in 1776 as a House of Industry, to tend to the poor of the local parishes. Over the centuries Gressenhall has evolved, becoming a Victorian workhouse and later a home for the elderly. Today, it is the museum of rural Norfolk life and workhouse history. It is a beautiful and unique venue for your special day.

Ceremony only

Say 'I do' surrounded by history.

Gather your close family and friends to join you to celebrate your day. Licensed for marriage or civil partnership ceremonies for up to 100 guests, the Old Chapel offers an intimate setting with decorative brick patterning, high leaded windows and wooden pews.

Following your ceremony, enjoy the museum's extensive grounds. Spread over 50 acres of Norfolk countryside, the historic buildings, gardens and natural landscape provide beautiful and striking surroundings for your wedding photographs.

Our dedicated events team will be on hand to deliver the most memorable day for you and your partner.

Ceremony with drinks and canapés
