Otley Hall

As one of the oldest houses in Suffolk, Otley Hall has a magical, timeless atmosphere where the present is inextricably linked to the past. It is from here that Bartholomew Gosnold planned his voyages to establish the first permanent English settlement in North America, Jamestown. The Hall also has links to Sir Cardinal Wolsey, the Earl of Essex, Francis Bacon and Shakespeare. Remaining a private family home today, only a handful of weddings are hosted at Otley Hall each year. Combined with its historic charm, fairy tale backdrops and secluded countryside setting, Otley Hall is a truly one-of-a-kind venue for couples looking for somewhere extraordinary for their special day. With a highly personalised and flexible approach, every wedding hosted at Otley Hall feels unique. Alongside the Hall's extended team of talented suppliers, a personal wedding coordinator from the Hall will work with couples every step of the way to help bring their dream day to life. The village of Otley is 9 miles from Ipswich by car, which offers direct rail services to London Liverpool Street in just over an hour.
