(the.venue) Hawkesyard Hall
A jewel in the Staffordshire countryside, the magnificent Hawkesyard Hall was formerly home to Nathaniel Lister and Josiah Spode.
This imposing structure of stuccoed brickwork and stone in the Gothic style with its battlements and pinnacles stands
in the heart of the estate, and with its captivating gardens and acres of delightful ornamental parkland will be our home
for the day.
The wedding service will take place at 1:30pm within the Hall, overlooking the ornate gardden and fountain.
The hall and garden will then provide a backdrop for photographs, after which we will take pleasure in welcoming our guests at the Manhattan Suite, overlooking the 18th Green of St. Thomas Golf Course, and only a short and pleasant walk from the hall.
Directions (by.road)
- For SatNav, use postcode WS15 1PU. Note that the entrance is off Armitage Lane, but most SatNavs don't know that this has been cut in two by the A51 and send you to the wrong side. If your SatNav doesn't do postcodes, look for the junction of Armitage Lane and the A513. With SatNav guidance, don't waste your money on the M6 toll unless traffic is bad, it's not worth it!
- From the south: from M6 Toll (J4) take A38 towards Lichfield, A51 signposted Rugeley and follow the signs to Golf Club.
- From the north on M6 leave at Jct 15, A34 signposted Stone, A51 signposted Rugeley, A460 signposted Armitage and follow the brown tourist signs to Golf Club.
