Wait until you see Samlesbury Hall after dark🥂

The festoon lights across the Tennis Lawn come up against the 700-year-old black-and-white facade, and the whole atmosphere shifts.

Slipping away from your reception for 10 minutes with your photographer to capture the depth of the night, you will never regret it ✨

The piano isn't just for looking at 🎶

The Bechstein grand has been in the Great Hall for years, and it isn't there for show.

Book a pianist for your ceremony music, or ask the friend who's played since they were six 👀✨

Come and see it for yourself, book a viewing link in our bio.
