Say I do at Calbourne Water Mill

Located on 30 acres of peaceful grounds, Calbourne Water Mill is the perfect wedding setting with a woodland area, undulating grass, orchards, a river and streams. Ducks plus peacocks roam freely around the property and carp can be found in the river, which runs throughout the site to the ancient water mill and wheel. The historic mill continues to work, milling flour and rolling oats for porridge and muesli sold on-site.

Even though the property doesn’t have a ceremony license, the venue has three locations for wedding receptions. Surrounded by windows overlooking the picturesque grounds, the rustic barn is an old 1700s cattle barn with varnished beams, a large stone fire place and pillars. The space can match any colour scheme or theme thanks to the wooden-varnished ceiling and white stone walls. The barn can accommodate 75 loved ones, and guests will fall in love with the rustic touches. Couples can hire a marquee alongside the river or on the festival field and campsite with sea views for larger weddings.

Eco houses and cottages right by the stream are perfect for on-site accommodation, with a stone Mill House nearby that’s usually reserved for wedding couples. A campsite near the plum orchard and hazelnut trees can provide additional accommodation, with on-site bell tents available for glamping.

We love that the venue is offering readers 50 per cent off accommodation for lovebirds on their special day when they quote Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding before the end of June.
