Whether your dream wedding is the ultimate fairytale or a small intimate celebration, Wookey Hole can work with you to create a flawless and unforgettable day.
Wookey Hole Caves holds the most beautiful rock formations of any cave in England. With a choice of three chambers, this is an unusual and magical venue for your civil ceremony wedding.
Surrounded by clear pools and soft candlelight, you can make your vows in caves carved by the River Axe over millions of years. The largest chamber will hold up to 110 guests but the caves are also intimate enough to offer a ceremony for just a few people.
Reception & Catering
The experience doesn’t stop there… After your ceremony you can also hold your wedding reception in our restaurant, exclusively for you and your guests.
The restaurant is fitted with colourful ceiling drapes, beautiful chandeliers and decorative mirrors, with space available to seat up to 200 guests at full capacity.
Smaller groups are also welcome, allowing space for music and dancing.
There is a separate bar area which is also included with your reception room as well as an outside courtyard.
Our catering team offers a tailor-made service – every wedding is unique and we take time to discuss your requirements and ensure a scrumptious wedding breakfast is provided.
We now have our brand new function room suitable for our wedding ceremonies and reception in our beautiful 17th century mill. Inside, carved panels of exposed brickwork allude to this building’s rich heritage, offering a rustic look while contrasting with the most elegant interior. This space can be beautifully illuminated and adorned to suit your individual desires.
Luxury Hotel
To complete your celebrations, why not stay at the Wookey Hole Hotel? Within walking distance of the caves and restaurant our 58-bedroom hotel even boasts a two storey VIP Tower Suite for the bride and groom – the perfect way to end the night.
We can reserve rooms for your guests at a special rate, we can offer complimentary early check-in (subject to availability) and you can even have exclusive use of the hotel. Please ask for further details.

Visitors, guests and delegates will find themselves memorised by the turning of the original water wheel, used to power the historic Paper Mill over centuries of genuine use. Restored and revitalised, this room captures the true essence of Wookey Hole’s past.
Inside, carved panels of exposed brickwork allude to this building’s rich heritage, offering a rustic look while contrasting with the most elegant interior.

Perfect for corporate functions, this space can be transformed into comfortable arrangements for small meetings, right through to larger presentations and seminars with audiences of up to 200. The very latest in AV equipment means this is an incredibly versatile and gorgeous space to host your businesses’ next event in.
