How far in advance should I book the Manor House for my event?
We have a very busy wedding season that begins mid to late March and continues through the end of October so booking a date during this time should be done as soon as you know your date in order to ensure you get the date you’d like. May through August dates book the quickest. We are also flexible and can accommodate short notice with regard to weekday events!
