The Astley Bank Hotel has built its reputation as a premier hotel by providing an excellent service within the stunning surroundings of a superbly maintained nineteenth century Mansion House.

Astley Bank is one of the most eye-catching wedding venues in Lancashire. Standing on 6 acres of immensely landscaped grounds and gardens, it has been home to some of Lancashire’s leading dignitaries and its transformation from a private mansion house to an exclusive hotel has been sensational. The setting says it all and our food & service will not be beaten either. We will make your day utterly amazing, whether your dream wedding is an intimate gathering or a grander affair. Our friendly and caring team have organised numerous successful weddings, so we are in no doubt that we can deliver the most beautiful day for you and those closest to you.

Celebrate your love in one of Lancashire’s most idyllic venues, with a wedding day that is as exceptional as you are. Built as the manor house of the area's first Alderman, Astley Bank really is the ‘hidden gem’ of Darwen. A beautiful Victorian-era design, scenic landscaped gardens, and a grand fountain give the property a fairy-tale character and make it a picturesque wedding spot, perfect for these photographs that you will cherish for the rest of your life. There is nothing as special as having all your family and friends in one place. Enjoy your big day by toasting champagne together while you bask in the natural light that floods our delightfully romantic ceremonial hall and, in the evening, take to the dance floor to party your way into the night.

Fully licensed to host your vows and reception, our gorgeous ceremonial hall overlooks sublime gardens and is flooded with natural light, offering a dreamlike vibe. This charming space can seat up to 120 guests during the day, while for the evening, capacity can be increased to 180.
