At Splotts Moor, located in the picturesque Somerset Levels, we host a select number of special events each year.
We specialise in wedding receptions and handfastings, but the site is quite flexible and we are always delighted to be considered for any event you are planning. We are also excited to be able to show off our specially-made, timber-frame, canvas-covered marquee, which, at 20 x 12 metres, can comfortably seat up to 180 people. The marquee can also be partitioned into two or more smaller areas.
The marquee is situated in a four-acre meadow in front of the house and garden, offering the perfect vantage point to enjoy the views, play party games, or to have a picnic or afternoon tea!
The garden and meadow can also be used for non-legal ceremonies such as handfastings - our stone circle is is a popular feature with couples.
As well as vintage-style afternoon teas and ceremony set-ups, there are a number of other services we can offer you, whether it's bonfires, flowers, or lighting up the garden after dark for a magical night. Share your dream with us and we will make it happen!
