If you are considering a traditional church wedding, St Leonards Downham is a gem. Dating back to the 15th century and steeped in tradition, the vista over to Pendle Hill was considered by Queen Mary to be the most beautiful view from any church door in England.
There are many excellent local venues in the Ribble Valley, but why not take a look at Downham Village Hall? It is possible to exclusively hire the entire space from just £1,500 for a weekend.
As well as our Camping Barn, https://www.downhamvillage.org.uk/index.php/downham-bunk-barn
there are 12 luxury B&B rooms at Downham’s pub, the Assheton Arms just opposite the church. The pub is ideal for a pre-or post ceremony pint and the downstairs room, which can seat up to 20 people, is ideal for pre or post-wedding gathering.
Nearby Greendale View offers further comfortable B&B rooms, as well as ‘glamping pods’.
