We honestly cannot say enough good things about The Hurt Arms as a venue and also the staff. From the moment we arrived to the very last song of the night, everything was pure magic. The space itself is stunning—beautiful, warm, and effortlessly elegant—but what truly sets it apart is how it felt.…

We had our Wedding Reception at The Hurt Arms in September 2019. After looking at around 4-5 other places once we’d seen the Hurt Arms there was only one choice. We had the most incredible night! We chose the BBQ for food and an Ice Cream Cart for afters and everything was absolutely delicious. The…

The Hurt Arms was the first and only wedding venue we visited - we fell in love immediately. Let’s talk money first. We had a modest budget of £10k for EVERYTHING, and our day at The Hurt Arms fit comfortably within that. They were very transparent about pricing with all of their brochures stating…
