Sparkford Hall is a Georgian mansion in Somerset. It’s suitable for parties of friends or family, reunions, special celebrations and weddings. It also works well for corporate and business use, or retreats.
The house sleeps 26 in 11 bedrooms (6 of which are en-suite). There are four separate bathrooms shared by five bedrooms, one of which is bunk-style, and perfect for children. Any of the beds can be made up as twins or doubles.
The reception rooms in the house are all big, and include the Salon (which is acts as a living and dining space), a library and kitchen, with a huge table for breakfast. There is also a sauna and a basement, in which to create your very own club night.
The Hall sits in 23 acres of gardens, parkland and farm land. There are large terraces and lawns – perfect for a marquee off the Salon – and a newly renovated walled kitchen garden, from which fruit and vegetables for the Estate are provided. There are also over 2 acres of orchard to wander in on a summer’s eve, and which produce cider and cider vinegar.
The management team at the house can arrange for accommodation for up to 250 people, in a combination of caravans, yurts and bell-tents. Perfect for wedding guests, or a tiny, clandestine summer festival.
Edmund’s Choice of Extraordinary Feature
“Perhaps one of the best things about Sparkford Hall is its privacy. The village is quite some distance away, and there are very few neighbours within party-earshot. Anyone wishing to set-to with a whistle and neon tutu, can do so in complete secret.”
About The Location
Sparkford Hall is just off several A roads, between the M5 and M3, just below Glastonbury. The nearest main-line train station is in Yeovil, and a taxi from the station would take about 20 minutes.
Things To Do
There’s lots to do in the surrounding area – Sparkford is on the very edge of the West Country with all of its attractions – Glastonbury Tor is nearby (and Glastonbury town), as is Wookey Hole, Cheddar Gorge and Haynes Motor Museum. There also the ancient hill-fort of Cadbury Castle – where it is said on fine nights you can see horsemen with torches,galloping through the dappled moonlight, protecting King Arthur as he sleeps.
Weddings

REVIEWS
Best wedding venue ever! We got married at Sparkford hall in May and had the best day of our lives. The venue is beautiful and we were given so much freedom to make the day exactly how we wanted it to be. Can't wait to go back again in the future.
We hired the venue for a large hen do. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Building and grounds were stunning
We (Storybox Films) recently had the pleasure of filming a wedding at Sparkford Hall back in August. The venue is beautiful and has the most amazing grounds. It's definitely one of the best wedding venues in Somerset and makes for great wedding videography and photography. To find out more about us Google: Storybox Films
Cool venue, charming gardens, amazing statues and we loved the alpacas, lamas and pets in general. :)

We have just spent a wonderful three days (25 -27th October 2016) celebrating our wedding at the beautiful Sparkford Hall. Everything was fabulous and beyond. Our 38 guests who stayed for the entire duration adored the house and loved the accommodation. Our wedding day and evening guests were all wowed by Sparkford Hall. It is without doubt the best place to have a wedding or party of any type. The many people who organised this wonderful event for us are fabulous and we can't thank them enough. Why should you choose Sparkford Hall to host your special event? The only answer is, why on earth would you consider anywhere else! An honest review from an incredibly happy new Mr and Mrs xx
Utterly superb! Super warm welcome. Rooms were clean and beautifully furnished and the grounds are fantastic! The whole house blew me away. Hopefully we will return. I and the others inour party will never forget the weekend we had there! Thanks to all concerned in making our stay so memorable!!!! X
I was here for an amazing wedding recently and it literally couldn't have been held at a better venue. Such an atmospheric and beautiful place in stunning surroundings. Each room was impeccable, some with roll top baths, all soft towels and amazing beds and bedding, slept so well every night. The staff, especially Bogdan, were all incredible and made the happy couple and everyone attending feel very comfortable and special. I've already recommended this to my sister who is getting married next year. Highly recommend this.
Amazing amazing amazing! I can't think of anywhere better to get married than here. Beautiful house and grounds and super attentive cleaning staff. X
I spent a wonderful bank holiday weekend at a wedding at sparkford Hall . It was impressive to say the least. ..beautiful animals chilling in the field, a wonderful kitchen to cater from and yet feel at home in..beautiful rooms a plenty and a club downstairs ..what more could you ask for in a venue? Great cleaners..and the caretaker chap and the team were really friendly and helpful.. the garden was well used in the sunshine we had and there was an orchard for people to camp in who couldn't fit in the house ... a special place for a special event x thanks x hope I can come back again one day..
An awesome venue, a very creative space enjoyed myself immensely at a friends 50th birthday party.
Sparkford Hall was amazing. The house and grounds seem to be equipped for everything and anything you could ever want - from a giant party to a relaxing (but fun!) weekend. Tony (the manager) had set the house up perfectly and the bedrooms are fantastic. Personal highlights for me include the garden and amazing sun worshipping furniture, the kitchen (we cooked a small pig in the oven), the HUGE dining room and the cellar (aka the rave cave, once decks and lights are set up). Sparkford felt like the owners had stolen a small slice of Ibiza and spliced it into Somerset!
We did indeed have an amazing time, one which will live long in the memory. The house was the perfect venue - super plush but nice and relaxed too. You and your team were great and made everyone feel at ease.
Tony - I know we have said many, many times but thanks for everything from start to end (including posting Laila's princess towel back to her!!!) You made the whole experience a pleasure and never once got fed up with the brides daft questions. Thank You.
