A new wedding venue is coming to Lancashire – and it’s unlike anything else in the region.
We’re delighted to announce that weddings are coming to the Thatched Hamlet.
Set beside the Lancaster Canal and surrounded by the beautiful Lancashire countryside, the Thatched Hamlet is being transformed into an unforgettable new destination for weddings, celebrations and those once-in-a-lifetime moments. With its rustic character, waterside setting and plenty of unexpected wow-factor, it’s a wedding venue with a difference.
Say “I do” at The Roundhouse
At the heart of the new wedding offering will be The Roundhouse at The Thatched Hamlet – a beautiful, characterful space designed for couples looking for something a little different.
From the outside, The Roundhouse embraces the rustic charm of its countryside setting. Step inside, however, and you’ll discover a spectacular wedding space designed to surprise and impress, creating that all-important wow moment for you and your guests.
Whether you’re planning an intimate celebration or a party to remember, The Roundhouse offers a wonderfully unexpected backdrop for your wedding day.
A canalside wedding venue with a difference
Location is everything, and The Thatched Hamlet has it in abundance.
With the Lancaster Canal running alongside the venue, couples can enjoy a beautiful waterside setting, peaceful countryside views and plenty of opportunities to make the most of the outdoors throughout their day.
Imagine arriving for your wedding surrounded by countryside, enjoying drinks with your guests beside the canal and celebrating long into the evening in a venue filled with character.
It’s relaxed, rustic and distinctly Lancashire - but with a little bit of magic thrown in.
Rustic charm meets unexpected wow
The Thatched Hamlet is all about bringing together the things we love most about a countryside wedding with something completely unexpected.
Think characterful buildings, beautiful outdoor spaces, canalside views, great food, brilliant drinks and a wedding party that carries on long after the “I do”.
And because it’s part of the James’ Places and Dream Venues family, couples can expect the same warm hospitality, attention to detail and passion for great food and drink that runs through our collection of venues.
Your wedding, your way
Whether you’ve always dreamed of a relaxed countryside wedding, a beautiful summer celebration by the water or a party that goes on until late, the Thatched Hamlet is being created with flexibility and memorable celebrations in mind.
There’ll be plenty of opportunities to put your own stamp on the day, from your ceremony and drinks reception through to the food, entertainment and all those little details that make your wedding uniquely yours.
