Sparkford Hall
About House
Sparkford Hall is no longer listed on Landed Houses. Please search to find an active property, thank you!
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 farmland. 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 is 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
Sparkford offers the opportunity for really wild weddings, and the management team are on hand to help you create exactly the sort of scenes you have in mind. The house can seat 50 guests inside, or up to 250 in a marquee in the gardens.
Mid-week weddings can be offered (including two night stay) for a reasonable price, and suppliers are often cheaper mid-week too.

Huge rooms, space, quiet, places of interest nearby. Variety of animals on site. Dog friendly, be aware of free range sheep, cows, ponies. Small play area, pool

We hired Sparkford Hall to celebrate a milestone birthday party. It was perfect in every way! The kids thoroughly enjoyed rampaging around the house and gardens and the cinema room went down a storm! The adults all enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere in the house and we had lovely evenings catching up by the roaring log fires. The bedrooms were all lovely - comfortable with really decadent bathrooms. Overall, loved it!

This is a beautiful setting for any sort of event or holiday. We spent Christmas here with our family and it was perfection. There was more space than we knew what to do with, and my favorite part was the alpaca, llamas, sheep and ponies. Lindsey was such a joy to do business with!

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 (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

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

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.

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!
Tom and Jamie
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.

I experienced this venue on 2 occasions, firstly for my brothers wedding and secondly for a Halloween party. The house is beautiful and feels like home. From the minute we arrived it felt special. The venue has everything from a relaxed atmosphere to nightclub fun. What makes this venue special for a celebration is the people. they are extremely hardworking and can turn this venue into your dream. Ritchie is an amazing person who feels like family when you meet him, and let's you experience your special day your way.
