Celebrate Your Wedding in Historic Style: Celebrant-Led Ceremonies at Glastonbury’s Saxon Longhall and Abbey Barn

The South West Heritage Trust is now offering celebrant-led weddings in the stunning Saxon Longhall at Avalon Archaeology and the 14th-century Abbey Barn at Somerset Rural Life Museum, Glastonbury. If you're considering acelebrant-led celebration that's unique to you, having taken care of the legal bit beforehand, then one of these impressive structures, steeped in historycould be for you.

The Saxon Longhall is a lovingly crafted recreation of Somerset's heritage in the heart of the Avalon Marshes. You can say "I do" at the high table with guests gathered around an open fire, surrounded by hand-crafted furniture and authentic art. It's a wonderful, memorable space for intimate nuptials.

The Abbey Barn on the other hand offers a grand space, packed with rustic charm that can accommodate larger wedding parties. Once part of the Glastonbury Abbey estate, the Abbey Barn is one of the West Country's finest buildings.

Museums operations manager Susie Simmons says, "Our authentic historical venues offer atmospheric settings for celebrant-led weddings and hand-fasting ceremonies; and because celebrant-led weddings aren't legal ceremonies, they can accommodate a variety of cultures and traditions, tailored to reflect the couple's values and beliefs."

Bookings are being taken for summer 2025 onwards. Find out more at https://swheritage.org.uk
