Avington Park
Wend your way through the wrought iron gateway, down the long avenue of lime trees to discover this historic stately home. Beautiful inside and out, with two conservatories flanking a pillared orangery, Avington dates back to the 10th century and has a wonderfully grand feel to the interior.
Surrounded by 150 acres of historic parkland, you will be spoilt for choice for your photos. Bordering the River Itchen the beautifully kept grounds have an abundance of wildlife, including majestic peacocks, providing a picturesque scene all year round.
Inside, the King Charles Hall has hand-painted walls and ceiling, antique furniture and a roaring open fire in the winter months. There is a wealth of rooms licensed for ceremonies, including the opulent Versailles Ballroom on the first floor, which is a jewel in the crown. Full of grandeur with a magnificently painted ceiling, gold gilt plasterwork, vast mirrors and a gallery of original artwork depicting previous occupants, it provides a romantic backdrop for ceremonies, with up to 110 guests and has a lovely open outlook across the park.
For the wedding reception the orangery is ideal. The versatile space can also be used for the evening bar, top table or displaying the wedding cake. The orangery can seat up to 200 guests and leads through to the library, adorned with books from across the centuries, a grand piano and wonderful views of the south lawn. The space can also be turned around later for the evening celebration, with room for dancing, entertainment and a band.

| Get those dancing shoes on - weddings are restriction free! |
| |
The day has finally come – wedding ceremonies and celebrations are restriction free! Grab your dancing shoes and get ready to sing at the top of your voice: "Celebrate good times... come on!" It's been a long road that many of us have tentatively navigated over the last 16 months; from us here at County Wedding Magzines HQ to suppliers and couples. There's been small highs and many lows, as each glimmer of hope was put out by another government announcement. Lockdown 1.0 turned into 2.0 and then 3.0, wedding guest numbers went from 0 to 12, 15 to 30 and now we can actually invite all of our loved ones, friends and family dear to our hearts to the big day. There's really been no better time to say 'I do', not only will it be mask free (personal choice), socially distance-free and rule-free; but it will be a true celebration of marriage, a union of friends and family, love and friendship.
