Gants Mill

Gants Mill is the perfect country garden venue, where you have exclusive use of the secluded fifty acre river valley, the idyllic gardens and the historic Mill. The key words our couples use to describe what they are looking for are relaxed, fun and different.

You can have your civil ceremony here and choose your own caterers and drink (there is no corkage charge). We try to give you as much freedom as possible – and so our concept is ‘as if you had a marquee in your own garden’.

In brief we offer exclusive use of the venue for an entire day. Our season is from late April to early October. We provide a traditional furnished marquee which can comfortably accommodate up to 150 guests for your reception (although many of our weddings parties are much smaller than this). Even at capacity this allows you plenty of room for dance floor, bar and other spaces. We can arrange the configuration to suit you during the planning stage.

You have exclusivity as we only do one event at a time, so you won’t find yourself sharing with another wedding party.

We have been granted a licence for civil ceremonies to be held at Gants Mill in a choice of locations, including the stunning oak Gazebo in the garden.

Bed and breakfast for the bride and groom in our delightful ensuite bridal suite is included.

You also get the services of the owner, Greg, who can help with planning the event, and can act as a toastmaster on the day.

Gants Mill is a stunning family-run venue, with a history stretching back to the Doomsday Book. The mill is named after John of Gaunt, who was miller here in 1290. Much of the history about the Mill is still known thanks to the actions of an eighteenth century heiress, Betty Weston, who saved the records of four centuries of ownership by her family. She was also reputedly the model for Sophia Western, the heroine of Henry Fielding’s novel “Tom Jones”. The Mill is still working today, and a tour for the guests is in included as part of each wedding.

Our couples become our friends, and stay in touch for years afterwards. We host reunions and parties for what has become a wonderful community of lovely people.

This is what a recent bride and groom had to say after their wedding here:

“Now we’re back from honeymoon we wanted to write to thank you so so much for everything you did for our wedding. It was such a magical day – Gants Mill is such a special place! Our guests all had such an enjoyable and important to us – relaxed – day. Young and old enjoyed themselves hugely. Thank you so much for helping the day run so smoothly and for all your amazing recommendations. We didn’t need to worry about anything. We’ll never forget our day and would recommend Gants Mill to anyone.”
