The Old House

A romantic medieval venue located in the heart of historic Rochford.  

The Old House is a Grade II listed building that has all the fairy-tale touches of a larger venue, but in a charming medieval residence. One of the oldest buildings in England, the Old House is perfect for intimate weddings and other special celebrations. 

Our magical Old Hall, dating from 1270, hosts twenty-four ceremony guests. With its stunning altar inspired fireplace and beautiful hammer beam ceiling, this is an enchanting setting to exchange your vows. Our picturesque garden space is perfect for photographs, to preserve memories of your special day.    

To extend your day with us, we also offer two glamourous rooms for members of the wedding party to get ready ahead of the ceremony, and cosy reception rooms for your guests to raise a toast to the happy couple after you say ‘I do’. 

A dedicated events co-ordinator will help you plan your dream wedding. We will be with you throughout the day to ensure everything runs smoothly, with attention to the finest detail. We are proud to offer you exclusive use of the Old House for your wedding day.  

We would be delighted to show you our beautiful venue. To arrange a viewing please visit our Contact Us page.
