The Venue
The High Cark Hall estate is a traditional 17th Century Farmhouse and Barns within the Lake District National Park set in the idyllic Cartmel Valley directly between the famous village of Cartmel and the shores of Lake Windemere.
The Main Barn
The main wedding space is a classic Westmorland stone barn set across three levels, which allows you to design the layout for your perfect day for up to 150 guests. It is full of original features such as oak beams set in high vaulted ceilings featuring gable walls with multiple original windows. Along with the Main Barn, you and your guests would have exclusive use of the attractive sheltered yard, adjoining barns, and fields, and exclusive use of the venue on your wedding day.
The Open Barn
Directly opposite the Main Barn is our Open Barn, which provides the feeling of an outdoor space whilst still being sheltered from the elements. It is the perfect space to host arrival drinks and canapes or alternatively could be used as a location for your ceremony. Later into the evening, this can also become a chill-out area for evening refreshments or even turned into a space for games to be played.
Other Areas
Use of both fields is included in our wedding packages and can both be used for ceremonies, drinks receptions or car parking.
​
The Paddock - A meandering stream running alongside this grassy field makes for a beautiful location for an outdoor ceremony, alternatively, your guests might like to try their hand at some lawn games (our Donkeys might come and say hi).
​
Horse Cop – Larger of the two fields with views over rolling countryside providing a stunning backdrop for an outdoor ceremony or photoshoot.
