Description
Dalston Hall is a Grade II-listed country house with over 500 years of history, timeless romance, and unforgettable character.* Its turrets, ancient stonework, and original features create a magical backdrop for your celebration.
Set within acres of private land - yet only 10 minutes from Carlisle - the Hall feels wonderfully secluded. Sweeping lawns, ivy‑clad walls, and peaceful woodland offer beautiful settings for photos and outdoor ceremonies.
Inside, the charm continues. The Baronial Hall showcases original wood panelling, an open fireplace, and a minstrel gallery, while the Getting Ready Room provides a spacious, light‑filled bridal lounge with historic detailing.
Your celebrations flow into a blend of historic and contemporary spaces, including the garden dining room, a bright, elegant setting with views across the grounds.
As night falls, Dalston Hall’s turret bedrooms offer a romantic retreat, each individually designed with period character and garden views.
With exclusive use of the estate, indoor and outdoor ceremony options, and a dedicated team who adore weddings, Dalston Hall promises a celebration that feels personal, intimate, and truly unforgettable.

- DDale & Taome04/04/202631.03.2026 a day to remember!31.03.2026 a day to remember!Oh my goodness, where do I even begin?! From the first initial meeting in October 2024, Yasmin was an absolute breath of fresh air. So knowledgable, so enthusiastic but most of all so supportive towards our visions for our special day. When I was told that once booked we would be passed over to the wedding co-ordinaters I was honestly devastated, because we knew we wanted Yas to conduct our day. A few weeks down the line and she announced she was taking on a new position, as a wedding coordinator, and that she would be ours, to say I was over the moon is an absolute understatement! Yasmin helped bring our dream day to life. The countless emails, meetings, and warmth we received every single time was nothing short of special. Dalston Hall as a whole have been amazing, and any queries or question we have had, it has been dealt with so promptly and professionally. As things went quiet through 2025, Yasmin and other team members remained contact and kept us at ease, that’s definitely something I worried about, things being too quiet, but this was not the case! We were kept in mind, and reassured or informed about every little detail. Once 2026 hit, it definitely because more real! And as the start of the year flew in, Yasmin stepped up continuously, how was that even possible I don’t know! Fast forward to our magical day, every single member of the team at Dalston Hall provided such a warm welcome, and it was so lovely to have the excitement around us, it genuinely is a beautiful place, filled with beautiful staff and such warmth and love. Our day couldn’t have been better, Yas was like Wonder Woman! This place, the staff, and our fabulous wedding coordinator Yas will always hold a very special place in our hearts. Thankyou so so much to every single person, especially to our lovely Yasmin who we couldn’t have asked for a better person to help, build & conduct our beautiful wedding day. Lots of love, Mr & Mrs Hewson 🩷 xxOh my goodness, where do I even begin?! From the first initial meeting in October 2024, Yasmin was an absolute breath of fresh air.

- SShell & Si02/04/2026What a Venue What a VenueNothing was to much from the first viewing to leaving on the Sunday morning, the team are exceptional, Olivia and Carl went above and beyond in many ways. Having booked the venue for 2 days, the food from the evening before to the Sunday morning breakfast was superb, we thought the wedding breakfast meal was even better than our taster meal a couple of months before. Changing thing last minute .com wasn't a issue, Setting out the room on flips was just as we had discussed as we had done our own decorations, Chief sorted out a transportation issue with the cake what a star. We cant thank the team enough at Dalston for making our special day even more special, all the members of staff are a credit and assets to Dalston Hall and Gilchrist Collection Having our dogs part of day was a must and Dalston is dog friendly which was magically Thanks Again Shell & Si, Poppy, Duke and MillieNothing was to much from the first viewing to leaving on the Sunday morning, the team are exceptional, Olivia and Carl went above and beyond in many ways.

- SShell & Simon01/04/2026Beautiful Venue Beautiful VenueMy partner Simon and I got married on the 28th March 2026 at Dalston Hall and it was truly magical. Simon and I decided to book the the venue for two days which we had the whole venue to ourselves and guests. The staff were all so friendly, and nothing was too much trouble especially Karl who worked on the bar. I have to say a massive thank you to our wedding coordinator Olivia Kirkpatrick she was brilliant. Olivia was so organised and due to our ceremony layout and getting things changed around ready for the wedding breakfast Olivia was exceptional and very professional which made our wedding day flow so very smooth and just perfect in every way. Nothing was to much trouble and on our wedding day Olivia was there from 8am until 8.30pm at night to ensure everything ran smoothly and anything we needed Olivia was there. Dalston Hall even allowed us to have our 3 cavalier king Charles to be part of our special day which was brilliant.. I can't thank Olivia and all the rest of the staff enough and also Ian the chef that managed to fix a little cake issue we had. From start to finish the communication that we had and received was second to non and Simon and I will treasure for ever. The food was also amazing.I would highly recommend Dalston Hall if you want your truly magical wedding day..

- SSarah and Josh23/12/2025AmazingAmazingFrom the moment we walked in we knew Dalston Hall was the right place for us. Everyone who works there is kind, helpful and nothing is too much trouble at all. Emails were replied to so quick if I had any niggles to discuss before the big day and everything was really personalised. Yasmine even helped make up our favours whilst I was setting up the room and helped me with my dress on the day. She also found a red bull for my sister who was jetlagged! They made us feel comfortable and told us to treat the place as our own taking the stress out of the day. Yes the venue is beautiful but you can't put a price on the people who helped make our day so flawless and genuinely cared that it was perfect for us. You're in safe hands with everyone at Dalston Hall. We could not recommend highly enough. From the moment we walked in we knew Dalston Hall was the right place for us.
