With an abundance of history and character, Scaplen’s Court features exposed stone walls, medieval doorways, a charming courtyard and a delightful walled garden, all contributing to ensuring a truly memorable day for you and your guests.

The largest of our rooms, the Upper Hall, is our main Ceremony room and can accommodate up to 58. This striking room retains many period features with a stunning stained glass window.

For smaller, more intimate ceremonies, and for those of you looking for something truly different, our Victorian School room is the perfect setting. Here we can accommodate you and up to 20 guests.

After your Ceremony celebrate with us and whilst drinks are being served you and your guests can explore the uniqueness of the surroundings. Take this opportunity to make full use of the characterful setting for your special photographs.
