Orchardleigh's indefinable English charm is
testimony to the Estate changing family ownership only twice
in the last 800 years. Veiled in a tranquil bowl of parkland and lakes, it's
horizon a sweeping backdrop of
rolling Somerset hills, the Poet Laureate Sir Henry Newbolt (1862 - 1938), was inspired to
write his finest
works from
his love of Orchardleigh and it's Island Church.
St Mary's island Church
The Orchardleigh C of E Island Church is
available for Religious Ceremonies and has a capacity for
120 guests.
St.
Mary’s, Orchardleigh enjoys the unique setting of being at the edge of a
lake with a moat around the
Church. Hence it is often referred to as
‘the church on the island.’ Its remoteness means there is no
electricity
supply to the church which means all our services are candlelit and the
organ has to be
pumped by hand!
The
picturesque setting, the lack of modern comforts and the traditional
services mean that many of those
who visit the church enjoy an
unforgettable experience. Many of the regular congregation travel miles
in
order to be here, and would miss the character (and characters) of
this unique church.
There is a strong link between Orchardleigh Church and Orchardleigh
House for wedding receptions.
Banqueting facilities are available for 80 - 165
guests, seated in the Blue Room and the Ballroom, which
are connected by very wide sliding doors.
Menus start at £27.50 per head for the main Wedding Breakfast and £3.95 per head for an Evening Buffet.
You can also supply your own Wine and Champagne
for your Wedding Breakfast and we'll be happy to
store, chill it and serve it for you.
You can dance 'till dawn to you own Band and or Disco.
