The Astley Bank Hotel & Wedding Venue Full Description
Set in 6 acres of gardens, this beautiful hotel and conference centre in a early 19th-century mansion house is less than a mile from Darwen and 2.4 miles from the M65 motorway. The main house offers elegant traditional rooms with original features, some with garden views. Rooms in the garden wing have more contemporary-style furniture, and all have tea and coffee making facilities. The house has period decor throughout, including stained glass windows, wood panelling and an ornate staircase. English cuisine with a French/Mediterranean influence is served in the bright, refined restaurant. This is a perfect location to hold your wedding breakfast and also a ceremony. It's been described as a real hidden gem by our guests. Call us and check our excellent reviews.

Personal Message from the Manager

Name of Wedding Contact: Lauren & Veronika
There are many options for a couple to put their own mark on the most important celebration of their union. The question is of all options, what is it in a venue that would be most conducive to a perfect wedding? We at Astley Bank deliberated this question and decided that such a venue would provide a beautiful location, gorgeous food and an experience to always remember. Certainly, Astley Bank has all of these, but we all agreed, to care is the most important element and that is our principle.

The wedding of my dreams
We had the most incredible experience hosting our wedding at Astley Bank in Darwen. From start to finish, the team, led by the wonderful Veronika, went above and beyond to ensure our day was nothing short of magical.Veronika's thoughtfulness and attention to detail were evident throughout the planning process. She took the time to understand our vision and preferences, offering valuable suggestions and guidance along the way. On the day of the wedding, her presence was invaluable. Veronika seamlessly coordinated every aspect, allowing us to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the occasion.The venue itself is stunning, with picturesque surroundings providing the perfect backdrop for our celebration. The combination of elegant décor and charming ambiance created an unforgettable atmosphere that enchanted both us and our guests.We cannot thank Astley Bank and Veronika enough for their exceptional service and dedication. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more, thanks to their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. We wholeheartedly recommend Astley Bank to any couple seeking a truly unforgettable wedding experience

The Best Day Of Our Lives
I don’t even know where to begin! Me and my husband got married here in September 2022 and it was honestly just perfect. The venue is stunning, the food was amazing, the staff were so helpful and on hand whenever we needed them, the rooms were lovely, the list is endless! Veronika was our wedding coordinator here and she is amazing, she helped us to perfect our day and we couldn’t recommend Astley Bank enough! Our guests said it was one of the best weddings they have been too! We wish we could do it all over again! I would just say go and look around and you will soon fall in love with this place like we did!

Our Wedding Day Was Amazing!
Made great by the great people who came and the wonderful team at Astley Bank - led by Bill, Sue and Veronika. Their attention to detail was absolutely spot on and they were quick to react if anything wasn't quite perfect. All of our guests have commented on how friendly and efficient the service team were and how quick and easy it was to get served at the bar. A special mention must also go to the kitchen team who served up some of the best food we've ever tasted. All in all, nothing was too much trouble, from the flexibility demanded by the disruptive weather to the professionalism in dealing with such an array of suppliers and the helpfulness and no fuss when it came to returning lost property the morning after the night before. We can't thank them enough and would recommend anyone have a meal, book a stay or hold an event there. Sincerely and gratefully, Terri and Gary. X

What a fantastic day we had
Where do i begin? Astley Bank recently held our Wedding and what a fantastic day we had. We had family travel from across the country, and the team at Astley Bank made them feel welcome from arrival. Nothing was ever any trouble, and all of our guests have said how amazing the venue looked, and was. The team are a huge credit to the venue, and we couldn't have asked for more. The food was 10/10, the organisation was amazing, it was clean and fresh, and nobody could have done anymore for us. It was a perfect day and we are so so grateful that we had such a great team to share it with. 100% recommend Astley Bank. We can't wait to share our anniversary with the team who made our day so special.’
