Mercure Dunkenhalgh Hotel & Spa

With its tree-lined drive, turrets and porticos, Mercure Blackburn Dunkenhalgh Hotel & Spa makes a dream wedding venue. First built as a country manor house over 700 years ago, this beautiful hotel makes a fabulous first impression: steeped in history but with all the luxuries of a modern 4-star hotel. Over the years the original building has been modified and extended, yet the character and charm of the old house still shines through, and many antique features have been preserved both inside and out.

From all parts of the hotel you’ll enjoy charming views over the grounds and surrounding countryside. In true manor house style there’s a courtyard and secluded garden, a spiral staircase leading down to the lawn and even a fountain. Inside is even more impressive, with high ceilings, stylish furnishings and a sweeping 18th century staircase. So whether your wedding day is sunny or showery, you can be sure of plenty of stunning backdrops for those all-important wedding photos.

There is a choice of distinguished banqueting suites each of which boasts its own unique features so whether you’re thinking of a small intimate gathering for 20 guests or a more extravagant affair for up to 300 guests, they will look after every detail from your wedding breakfast to your evening reception.
