Your happily ever after starts here…

With our historic country house, romantic gardens, and elegant reception spaces, Almer Manor has been a place for love, laughter, and unforgettable celebrations for generations. Whether you dream of a grand wedding or an intimate gathering, our exclusive estate is yours to fill with cherished memories.

Our estate features a romantic sailcloth tent for outdoor ceremonies, the historic St Mary’s Church just steps from the manor gates, elegant Victorian stables, manicured gardens, a private tennis court, and a hot tub for winding down in style – all exclusively yours for the duration of your stay.

Amazing venue for 16 of us celebrating a 50th birthday in style. The facilities are superb, and the house is stylish but still feels homely & welcoming. Christina was fabulous to work with, and her supplier recommendations were all spot on. She even managed to work wonders and provide gorgeous weather. Thanks so much & hope to be back there soon!

We had our wedding reception here as we got married in the nearby church, we stayed for three nights and it was truly magical. Christina was brilliant and we are truly thankful to her and her team. The place is just stunning, the decor is fantastic. We also hired the stables which was a great decision. Love the place.
