DE VERE WOKEFIELD ESTATE

Period features, picturesque gardens and a Mansion House filled with history and heritage.

The stage is set for your dream day.

Nestled within 250 acres of Berkshire parkland, De Vere Wokefield Estate is a venue quite unlike

any other. Built in 1788 by celebrated architect Sir John Soane, the estate has welcomed distinguished

guests into its surroundings for centuries.

Explore our grounds to discover elegantly manicured lawns with views across the lake, then step inside to reveal interiors that have recently undergone a

£20 million transformation. Now, original features including fluted columns, dramatic ceilings and grand fireplaces blend beautifully with contemporary interior

design, creating a luxurious atmosphere for your wedding day.
