About Knowsley Hall

Knowsley Hall is an authentic stately home wedding venue, set within a private walled estate. Home to The Earl & Countess of Derby, you can hire the Hall for exclusive use for your ceremony and wedding reception. Beautiful manicured gardens and lake.

Located in between Liverpool and Manchester, Knowsley Hall is a beautiful stately home with Grade II listed status. The estate was created in 1385, so each nook and cranny of the Knowsley is enwreathed in history and culture. Surrounded by breathtaking gardens and parkland, Knowsley Hall is a prestigious venue that has hailed royalty and distinguished persons since it opened its doors in 1495. Your wedding at Knowsley Hall will make you and your guests feel every inch magical as you wander through stunning rooms, charming terraces and perfectly manicured gardens and lakes.

Exchange your vows in the romantic Stucco Ballroom which exudes romance with its stunning gold encrusted leaf details on the walls and ceiling.

The magnificent State Dining Room is where you will be welcomed into as the newlyweds and will dine on an exquisite menu, tasted and approved by The Earl and Countess of Derby themselves – planned by you in collaboration with our team of expert chefs and created with ingredients sourced fresh where possible from the Knowsley Estate.

End your perfect day with an overnight stay in one of our 17 luxury bedrooms which have all been individually designed by The Countess of Derby herself and immaculately maintained to a high standard by our team of housekeepers.

The Hall was decorated beautifully for Christmas. The trees were just gorgeous.
The staff; the waiters & waitresses at the wedding breakfast, the food, the hall, the bedrooms – The honeymoon suite was also amazing! Absolutely beautiful and we will recommend it to anyone who will listen!

Wow, where do I even start. From the first minute my husband and I walked through the doors to Knowsley Hall, we knew this would be the home of our wedding venue. It’s opulence and grandeur is mind blowing and the customer service from the moment we booked the venue with Vanessa to email conversations with Lesley and Matt and then to the co-ordination on the day by Matt and Jason was exceptional. Myself, James and our guests were blown away by the food. So many of our guests commented on the fact that the food was the best they had ever tasted at a wedding. Paul and his team clearly take great pride in the food they present and we can’t thank them enough for it. It was superb. A special thanks has to go to Matt, Jason and the FOH team at Knowsley. You guys were incredible. James and I didn’t have to think about anything on the day. All of our thoughts and worries were taken care of and you made sure the day ran like clock work. You are all an absolute credit Knowsley and to Lord and Lady Derby.

So, if anyone is reading this review thinking, should we book Knowsley Hall, the answer is YES! Your day will be everything and more than you could ever imagine and it will leave its imprint in your hearts forever.

Once again, thank you to the whole team at Knowsley. You really did make our day so very special. Xx

I can’t tell you how pleased I am that we picked Knowsley as the place for our wedding. The attention to detail on the day was beyond impressive. I nearly fell over when Matt brought our drinks out whilst we were having photos and the staff came out to check we all had canapes. I know it's only small things and it may seem like second nature to you all but year's ago I worked in hospitality and I’ve never experienced customer service at this level. It blew me and away. And as for our guests, well, they were astounded. The grandeur and beauty of Knowlsey speaks for itself but we also had so many compliments on the food, drink and service. It was second to none. Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts x
