Barn Wedding Venue Berkshire

Welcome to Lillibrooke Manor

Welcome to Lillibrooke Manor — one of the most historic and breathtaking barn wedding venues in Berkshire. A Grade II listed estate set within 15 acres of stunning English countryside, Lillibrooke offers a remarkable collection of historic barns, beautifully manicured gardens and elegant spaces that together create an extraordinary setting for weddings, celebrations and events of every kind.

Exclusively yours for the day, the entire estate is yours to explore, enjoy and make your own.


 

A Brief History

Lillibrooke Manor’s story begins in the 14th century, when the estate — then known as “Lollebrok”, meaning Babbling Brook — first appeared in public records in 1376. The Manor House itself was constructed around 1490, possibly as a residence for the Martyn family during their visits to the Royal Court in Windsor.

Over the centuries the estate has been home to knights, Catholic families and working farmers — and even rumoured to conceal a secret priest hole. In 1988, the removal of grain drying bins revealed the true magnificence of the Great Barn, and in 2015 new owners began an extensive programme of restoration and enhancement that continues to this day.

The result is an estate that seamlessly blends centuries of history with modern elegance — a truly unique setting for life’s most memorable moments.
