Your ceremony at The HAC: what you need to know

Exchanging your vows in front of your friends and family is most couples’ focal point when planning their wedding or civil partnership. We understand how important it is that the space where this momentous event takes place is very special indeed.

We have four beautiful rooms licenced for weddings and civil partnerships, each with its own unique charm and infused with the character of our historic venue. All are wheelchair accessible, with three located on the ground floor and the Long Room situated on the first floor. Learn more about our venue.
