Historic Wedding Venue Ellingham Hall is UK’s Best!

TWIA National Winner!
Best Historic Wedding Venue 2026

Ellingham Hall has added another National accolade to its trophy cabinet.

We were named the UK’s Best Historic Wedding Venue by judges at The Wedding Industry Awards (TWIA) 2026. The news came on the same day we received a winning accolade from the Hitched Wedding Awards.

Last autumn, we were crowned regional winner in the Historic Venue category for the North East and Yorkshire.

At a glittering ceremony in Liverpool’s Adelphi Hotel on Wednesday 21 January, our team went head-to-head with eight other historic venues across the UK and was presented with the national award by TWIA founder Damian Bailey.

It’s an incredible feat for our exclusive use wedding venue, after receiving the National Winner trophy in 2024 for TWIA’s Events Team of the Year. We also scooped the regional title for three consecutive years for Yorkshire and the North East.

Topping the Regionals!

General Manager Matt Collins said that topping the regional award was a fantastic achievement for everyone in the team.

He said: “To win the regional award last November was amazing. I am so proud of our team for their award achievements in the North East and Yorkshire.

“But nothing can compete with the feeling of being named the best historic wedding venue in the UK.

“Our venue is different because our historic building and grounds become ‘home’ for our couples and their guests for an unforgettable two-night wedding celebration.”

Incredibly Dedicated Team!

Anthony Hunter, Group Director of Unveiled Venues, which operates Ellingham Hall, added that winning the latest award was a highlight in his career.

“Our team at Ellingham Hall has won numerous regional awards in recent years,” he said. “This is a testament to their incredible dedication to working closely with each couple—and with one another—to ensure every wedding is truly memorable.

“Being recognised twice at a national level fills me with immense pride in every member of the team. The Wedding Industry Awards are especially meaningful, as the results are based on votes from the couples themselves.

“That’s what makes this award so special. It’s not simply the outcome of a judging panel or an awards submission, but a reflection of the thoughtful feedback and kind comments shared by couples who have experienced everything Ellingham Hall has to offer.

“Thank you to our couples who took the time to vote and provide feedback. We will be celebrating this wonderful achievement throughout the coming year.”
