Venue Spotlight

Cain Manor

A picturesque view of Cain Manor, featuring its charming red-tiled roof, rustic timber-framed barn, and beautifully landscaped gardens under a bright, partly cloudy sky.

Where Hampshire meets Surrey, Cain Manor is a Tudor venue set in landscaped grounds, offering exclusive use for 24 hours. Its oak-beamed Music Room is a stunning ceremony space, and outdoor options provide Surrey Hills views. With room for up to 123 guests and 170 for an evening reception, it’s ideal for weddings.

Bowreed has brought ceilidhs and barn dances to Cain Manor many times. The venue works brilliantly for dancing, giving guests plenty of space to enjoy a ceilidh and celebrate together in a relaxed setting.

Botleys Mansion

A grand view of Botleys Mansion, a stately wedding venue in Surrey, showcasing its elegant Georgian architecture, stone façade, and manicured surroundings under a cloudy sky.

Just 30 minutes from London, Botleys Mansion is a top spot for Surrey weddings, and we love bringing Bowreed ceilidhs and barn dances to its grand spaces. Whether it’s the intimate Green Room for smaller ceremonies or the impressive glass-roofed Atrium for up to 288 guests, there’s plenty of room for a proper dance-off. The parkland and fountain make a cracking backdrop for photos before the ceilidh kicks off. With 11 swanky bedrooms for overnight stays, you can even swap dance floor stories over breakfast the next morning.
