The Woodyard
An exclusive wedding venue on a private country estate in North Norfolk
In a quiet and tranquil lakeside setting on the 300 acre Worstead Park, our breathtaking corkage-free wedding venue offers a unique and secluded setting for your special day. Our beautifully restored thatched barn and sawmill along with luxury estate accommodation offers the perfect place to gather your closest family and friends for an unforgettable weekend.
The Thatched Barn
With its vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and brick walls, and soft lighting the Thatched Barn is our most romantic space. Working closely with you, our event management team will create a breath-taking space for an unforgettable ceremony.
Later on, when the sun is setting, enjoy after-dinner drinks on the West Terrace and your first dance in the Thatched Barn.
The Mulberry Room
Forming the southern wing of The Woodyard, and once home to the sawmill which now stands just outside, the Mulberry Room is our light and bright blank canvas: perfect for creating the wedding breakfast of your dreams. Working with our event management team you can dress The Mulberry Room to reflect your personal character and style.
Alternatively host your wedding ceremony in The Mulberry Room before retiring to the Thatched Barn for a candlelit supper.
Lake Island
Offering a truly unique setting to say “I do”, our lake island is a wonderfully scenic spot for a ceremony. Our newly-built summerhouse frames the bride and groom as they make their vows.
The neighbouring boathouse is the mooring for the You and I, our 1930s wooden rowing boat. Brides are invited to take a quiet moment with their father as he rows her across the lake to a memorable arrival at the island.
Accommodation
One of our favourite parts of hosting weddings is our ability to accommodate up to 31 of your guests across the estate, extending your celebrations across the whole of the weekend.
Our couples are given priority booking on our full range of accommodation, and our event management team would be pleased to discuss your requirements with you and make recommendations on which of our beautiful properties you might like to consider.

The venue is beautiful and finished to a really high spec, and the grounds of the venue are amazing, with lots of green outside space and a lake and island which makes the venue feel really secluded.

“We had a great day, and the venue looked absolutely gorgeous in the Spring sunshine.”
Thank you so much for all your help in the lead up to, and on our wedding day. It has been exciting to have been one of the first few weddings at Worstead and to have seen the venue going from construction site to the beautiful venue it is today!
