Venue

Mercure Brandon Hall Hotel & Spa Warwickshire is located in the village of Brandon, set in beautiful countryside and peaceful surroundings. Both the hotel and village are of considerable historical importance as in ancient times the area was a place of some note. Today the hotel is situated in the grounds of what is known as Brandon Manor - in fact, contrary to popular belief, the present main house is not Brandon Manor House, which in fact was built in 1300 on the site of the large car park, adjoining the modern-day leisure club, Spa Naturel. Today's main house was a later addition, built in the 17th century, and known as the Shooting Lodge.

From the very moment you arrive, you can feel confident it's the ultimate setting for your precious day and that every detail from your wedding breakfast through to your evening reception, will be taken care of.

And of course, all our wedding packages have been carefully designed with you in mind. After all, your wedding day is the most important day of your life and we want you to enjoy every second of it.
