If you're searching for a wedding venue that effortlessly combines rustic charm with modern comfort, all while offering full exclusivity, then Pheasantry Brewery in East Markham might just be your perfect match. Nestled on a working 2000-acre farm in the Nottinghamshire countryside yet just minutes from the A1, this relaxed, rural venue delivers a one-of-a-kind wedding experience that’s as easy-going as it is unforgettable.
A Brewery with a Difference
Pheasantry Brewery isn’t just a wedding venue—it’s a fully functioning microbrewery with a warm, welcoming vibe and a rustic edge. Imagine saying your vows surrounded by hops, history, and the hum of nature—whether that’s in the beautiful interior barn or outside beneath the garden pagoda, surrounded by seasonal blooms and open skies.
From the moment you arrive, there’s a sense that this is your day, your way. The team here pride themselves on helping couples create personalised, informal celebrations—no cookie-cutter weddings here.
Wedding Ceremonies Indoors or Out
Pheasantry Brewery is licensed for civil ceremonies both indoors and outdoors, offering flexibility whatever the weather. Exchange your vows under the open sky in the pagoda or keep it cosy with a beautifully dressed barn ceremony. Either way, the setting feels intimate, personal, and just a little bit magical.
The Reception: Laid-Back Luxury with Room to Party
When it comes to the reception, this venue comfortably caters for up to 130 guests for your wedding breakfast and up to 220 guests for your evening celebration. There’s space for live music, fireworks, confetti, and even a tipi if that’s your vibe.
One of the biggest perks of the Pheasantry? No neighbours. That means you can turn the volume up and party into the night without worrying about noise restrictions. It’s your day—why not celebrate properly?
Local Food, Brewed Beer, and Exceptional Hospitality
On-site chefs use home-grown and locally sourced produce to create wedding menus that are as fresh and flavourful as they are satisfying. Think hearty BBQs, beautifully plated sit-down meals, or relaxed grazing tables—all served with a side of award-winning beer brewed right there on site.
Many couples have mentioned how popular the beer is with their guests, and some even opt for brewery tours on the day as a fun, informal extra!
Plus, the team—led by experienced coordinators like Danielle and Dominique—have a reputation for being friendly, flexible, and genuinely invested in making every wedding smooth and special. Their planning support, attention to detail, and dedication to each couple really stands out in the reviews.
Pricing and Packages
Venue hire ranges from £2,750 to £5,995 depending on the day and time of year, with midweek and winter options offering fantastic value. Catering is in-house and ranges from £26 to £56 per head, and several seasonal packages and discounts (like their White Winter Wedding Package) are available.
You’re not locked into a rigid wedding “formula”—Pheasantry gives you choices while keeping things clear and stress-free.
