Short statement from the Earl of Normanton

Welcome to Somerley

Lord Normanton and Lady Rosalind
Somerley, sitting in breathtaking Hampshire countryside, provides an exclusive wedding venue and spectacular corporate events venue. As well as being surpassingly beautiful, Somerley is Britain's most discreet and exclusive setting for your fairytale wedding or private conference.

Never open to the public, the private Stately Home and 7000 acre Estate is one of the country's best kept secrets. Only you and your guests can enjoy the splendour of the treasures in each room, and gasp at Somerley's 80-ft Gallery filled with masterpieces of art, or better still, you can get married in it, or one of the four State Rooms licensed for Civil Ceremonies. For those wishing a Church ceremony, Ringwood Parish Church can accommodate 350 guests and is just 10 minutes drive.

The spectacular house, still lived in by the Earl and Countess of Normanton, sits majestically above hundreds of acres of parkland. Eight State bedrooms, with breathtaking views over the River Avon and New Forest, are available exclusively for the wedding party to enjoy. This is a much loved family home, filled with warmth and friendliness and can be hired on an exclusive-use only basis.

Somerley is quite simply unique. Just 90 minutes from London and 20 minutes from Bournemouth and Southampton airports with a helipad on site, you will find total privacy and seclusion in the most gracious surroundings. You and your guests will enjoy the ultimate in immaculate service provided by the experienced in house team, savour exquisite cuisine prepared by the Head Chef and imbibe fine wines in a magical setting.
