We are licensed for civil ceremonies, both in the barn for larger parties at weekends, in the main house for smaller parties, as well as the outdoor pavilion (weather permitting) and medieval hall.

St. Peters Church, Askham is located a stone's throw from the venue. A romantic walk takes you from the church through the gardens and onto the wedding barn. Thirteenth century St. Michael's Church with its strong family connections, overlooking Askham Hall, the River Lowther and with views of Lowther Castle, is also close by.

Found on a family-owned ‘living’ estate, we are a collection of unique places to eat, drink and sleep on the edge of the Lake District.

Stay with us and we’ll share our unspoilt landscape, our wild and farmed produce and our local knowledge with you. Take time to refocus, re-energise and reconnect –  experience our changing seasons and enjoy food, wine and art inspired by our sense of place.

The Askham Collection is deeply rooted in, and connected to, the land around us. As the current custodians, it is our pleasure to welcome you to share in them,  and for the time that you’re here, to call them home.

Whilst you are with us – discover what we love about this place on the edge of the Lakes. Don your wellies, walking boots or running shoes and catch a fish, run up a fell, relax with a treatment or soak up the surroundings with a hand-picked glass of wine.

Askham Hall and Bank Barn is an exciting new style of country house hotel and wedding venue for Cumbria and the Lake District.

This multi-award winning venue opened in 2014 and now has 19 bedrooms, a Michelin starred restaurant, private gardens, wedding barn, medieval hall and garden pavilion. Also featuring an outdoor heated pool and hot tub. It's style? Luxurious, intimate, unpretentious, up-to-date and full of charm. There are also two stunning churches nearby.
