About Silverholme

Silverholme is a wedding venue located on the 5,000-acre privately owned Graythwaite estate in Windermere, Cumbria. A stunning Georgian manor house that is set amid rolling fields directly on the unspoilt shores of the most famous of the Lake District's lakes - Lake Windermere. This region of outstanding national beauty has inspired a generation of romantic poets and is an unforgettable place in which to tie the knot. It is ideal for nature lovers who dream of getting wedding industry away from the hustle and bustle of big-city life. Facilities and Capacity There are several indoor and outdoor event spaces for you to choose from at Silverholme. Outdoor ceremonies can unfold on the panoramic patio overlooking the Lake, with only the house, the fields, the trees and the Lake itself to frame your photographs. During the cooler months or on wetter days, equally romantic ceremonies can take place in the Coach House or Drawing Room of the manor house itself. Receptions can follow either under a large marquee/tipi on the venue's grounds or inside the main rooms. Regardless of your choice, all the settings have lots of space for seats, a dance floor, and a live DJ or band, should you desire. Wedding packages are for three days, giving you ample time to relax with guests and make your wedding ceremony only one part of an intimate, relaxing and memorable holiday with your nearest and dearest. Accommodation The house itself offers eight individually styled en-suite bedrooms and an original coachman's cottage in the gardens that sleeps 2, making a total of 18 guests. In addition, there are 30 self-catering cottages across the estate, the majority only a short distance from Silverholme. This way, up to 200 guests may all stay on the estate. Services Offered The events staff at this venue will work closely with you to make sure that you have the wedding of your dreams. They have a list of recommended caterers and marquee/tipi providers, who all have a great deal of experience in providing outstanding weddings in this dream-like location. In addition, there are multiple activities (off-road driving, archery, axe throwing and all sorts of water events on the Lake!) that can be organised on the estate to entertain your guests and ensure that everyone has the most joyous time in the beautiful and breathtaking Lake District.

Wow, where do I even start. This was the venue of our dreams. From the moment we swooped around the beautiful driveway and saw Silverholme in all its glory, we fell inlove. Vanessa and the team at Silverholme could not have been more helpful and accommodating every step of the way. There are not…

Vanessa, the office manager at Silverholme, is an absolute hero! For our wedding at the Silverholme Manor, the tent provider (All About ME Marquees) I chose (going against Vanessa's recommendation) neglected to do a site visit until 72 hours before the wedding. This resulted in very serious and…
