Introducing Godwick Hall

Godwick is a beautiful deserted village in Norfolk. It’s nestled between the villages of Tittleshaw and Whissonessett, just south of Fakenham. There are over 200 deserted villages in Norfolk, but Godwick is among the last of the well-preserved sites, making it a heritage site.

The 450-year old village combines medieval romance with a magnificent rural setting, making it a very popular wedding venue. The luxurious accommodations of the large Godwick house will rival that of any boutique hotel, and it offers a wonderful list of amenities that will suit your needs whether you’re a guest or the bride and groom.

In case dreaming up a rustic, bohemian wedding with the backdrop of a stunning sunset isn’t enough, here are 10 other reasons why you’ll want to have your wedding at Godwick Hall:

1. It’s Got the WOW Factor

Godwick Hall and its grounds are a vision that will stay with you and your guests long after your wedding. Gorgeous blue skies, a blazing sun, an enchanting sunset—all lightly hovering the historic medieval village. The venue’s entire atmosphere complements the old quaint house that overlooks the barn, the church, and the grazing land.

It truly is a place frozen in time, giving it that WOW factor that words just don’t do justice for.

2. It’s Rustic-Chic

If you’re the type who loves farm-like venues—or, even if you’re not—Godwick Hall and Barn will sweep you off your feet. It has the perfect balance of rustic and chic to bring you the barnyard style you want without being overwhelmingly ‘farmy.’

It’s especially a wonderful space for an outdoor celebration. You and your guests will feel enchanted by the scenery as day turns tonight and you and your guests dance among a floral landscape beneath twinkling stars.

3. It’s a Blank Canvas Wedding Venue

One of the best things about a Godwick Hall wedding is that no two events are ever the same. As I said, the rustic-chic style isn’t overwhelming, as the venue presents itself as a blank canvas. You likely won’t need to go overboard with styling the decor, but it’s yours to decorate however you’d like.

From your colour scheme to the lighting to your floral arrangements, everything can be customized your way. The grounds staff and your suppliers will all work with you to make sure everything is perfect for the big day. In fact, they encourage you to dig deep and get detailed with everything!

4. There is Onsite Accommodation

Godwick Hall can provide accommodations for up to 22 guests. The house itself has seven luxurious bedrooms, and there are three Shepherd’s Huts on the grounds. That should be enough for the bridal and groom parties, immediate family, and a close friend or two.

There are plenty of other accommodations nearby that suit all price ranges. It’s also   

5. You Can Choose Your Ceremony Location

There’s a small church within walking distance of Godwick Hall, the Godwick Barn, and of course, the house itself. Their large entertaining space within the barn can hold up to 160 guests, but it’s likely that you’ll want an outdoor or duo-ceremony.

This allows you to plan for a huge celebration or a small intimate gathering.
