Weddings around Langho, Billington and Mellor

The venues around Langho cover the widest range of sizes in the Ribble Valley. Northcote takes weddings of 8 to 60 guests on gourmet packages priced per person and has 26 bedrooms. Mytton Fold seats 130 for the ceremony and 180 for the wedding breakfast, and publishes a 2027 package. Foxfields Country Hotel at Billington holds ceremonies of up to 200, has 44 bedrooms and a licensed gazebo for outdoor ceremonies. The Avenue at Brockhall Village has 20 bedrooms.

At Mellor the Glass Marquee runs packages for 250 to 450 guests, priced per person, which makes it the largest venue in this guide.

The Black Bull at Old Langho also hosts weddings of up to 100 guests, as a reception after the ceremony elsewhere.

Two approved venues sit just over the boundary at Clayton-le-Moors. Sparth House is exclusive use, takes 100 by day and 200 in the evening and has 16 bedrooms. The Dunkenhalgh hotel's largest suite seats 300.

Per-person prices are shown as per person on every page here, so they are not mistaken for a total.

Most of the Langho venues cook in-house, which keeps planning simple: Northcote, Mytton Fold, The Avenue, the Glass Marquee and Sparth House all say so. Foxfields and the Dunkenhalgh hotel do not say on their pages, so ask them. For a ceremony at the register office instead, the Clock Tower in Clitheroe is a short drive north and holds 45 people.

When comparing venues here, start with your numbers. A small wedding of under 60 fits Northcote's gourmet packages; a wedding of a few hundred points to the Glass Marquee or the Dunkenhalgh hotel; and the hotels in between, Mytton Fold, Foxfields and The Avenue, cover the usual range of 100 to 200. Mytton Fold publishes a 2027 package that includes stationery and a DJ, and Sparth House publishes a twilight package for 70 guests. Foxfields, The Avenue and the Dunkenhalgh hotel do not publish wedding prices on their pages, so ask them for a quote for your date.

Five of the eight venues here are on Lancashire County Council's approved list for civil ceremonies. The Glass Marquee and The Avenue were not on the list when we checked, so ask them how ceremonies work there, or plan the legal ceremony at the Clock Tower in Clitheroe and celebrate afterwards. Ask before you book anything else.
