🌿 The Forest Country House Weddings – A Hidden Gem in Mid Wales for 2026 & Beyond

The Forest Country House Weddings, Powys

If you’re dreaming of a wedding venue that combines Victorian charm, modern comfort, and a peaceful countryside setting, The Forest Country House Weddings is a beautiful new addition to the Mid Wales wedding scene. Opening in Spring 2026, this lovingly restored country estate near Newtown, Powys, offers couples a perfect blend of tranquillity, natural beauty, and timeless style.

Set amidst four acres of gardens, paddocks, and woodland, The Forest Country House promises an atmosphere of relaxed rural elegance — ideal for couples who want a wedding surrounded by nature, yet with all the comforts of a luxurious home-from-home.

✨ A Stunning Victorian Country Estate

The Forest is a large Victorian manor, lovingly preserved to reflect its heritage while introducing subtle Portuguese design elements inspired by the owner’s background. This unique fusion brings a Mediterranean warmth to the heart of Wales — think sunlit courtyards, tiled accents, and soft, rustic tones.

Guests will feel immediately at home among the house’s seven en-suite bedrooms, welcoming sitting rooms, and grand dining areas. Outside, meandering paths lead to a charming courtyard, tennis court, woodland walks, and open lawns perfect for drinks receptions, games, and photographs.

💍 Weddings Designed Your Way

The Forest Country House is all about flexibility and exclusivity. When you book your wedding here, you’ll have exclusive use of the entire estate — including the main house, four beautifully appointed cottages, barns, and gardens.

Whether you envision an elegant garden marquee, a romantic barn-style celebration, or an intimate country house dinner, the venue offers endless possibilities.

You’ll also find:

• Space for up to 120 guests for dining and receptions

• Licensed areas for indoor and outdoor ceremonies

• Exclusive use of 17 bedrooms, sleeping up to 35 guests

• A dedicated barn bar for evening celebrations

• Pet-friendly, family-friendly facilities

• Catering flexibility – from traditional Welsh menus to Mediterranean feasts or even a relaxed hog roast

🏡 Stay and Celebrate in Style

Few wedding venues offer such generous on-site accommodation. With 7 rooms in the main house and 10 more across the four cottages, your nearest and dearest can stay right on the grounds, turning your wedding into a weekend-long celebration.

The courtyard will feature tables, chairs, and ambient lighting, creating a charming space for guests to relax. There’s even the option for camping, perfect for couples who want a festival-style wedding experience.

🌳 A Peaceful Welsh Retreat

Although The Forest feels wonderfully secluded, it’s just three miles from Newtown and close to key routes from Shrewsbury, Birmingham, and Manchester. This balance of accessibility and privacy makes it a perfect destination for couples across Wales and the Midlands.

Surrounded by rolling hills and woodland, the venue offers countless photo opportunities — from romantic woodland backdrops to golden-hour shots on the lawns.
