The Aelfric Hall

The Aelfric Hall is a stunning contemporary function venue located in the heart of rural West Dorset. Set within the grounds of the 15th century manor house of Hooke, the Aelfric Hall is the perfect blend of contemporary and traditional with its stylish interior and historic setting.

At night the Manor House, trees and moat can be lit up with lights and flares to give your function a particularly spectacular backdrop.

The Aelfric Hall can comfortably seat up to 100 guests for formal dining and more for an informal reception. For larger parties a marquee may be erected on the terrace next to the Aelfric Hall, with direct access from the Hall to the marquee.

14 acres of beautiful mature parkland are perfect for taking a stroll, playing croquet and capturing those all important memories of a perfect celebration. The newly restored lake and Willow Island provide a stunning location for a moment of quiet contemplation, as well as a truly magical spot for photographs.

A myriad of indoor and outdoor photo opportunities will ensure you leave with a host of beautiful images of your special celebration.
