Wedding Venues & Services has teamed up with Fawsley Hall Hotel to offer one lucky reader the chance to win a one-night luxury break for two people. The pre-wedding break includes champagne on arrival, a romantic dinner, one night’s accommodation and full English breakfast the following morning.

Fawsley Hall Hotel is the perfect place for an intimate romantic getaway or a first night. Surrounded by rolling hills and parkland in the peaceful Northamptonshire countryside, yet conveniently close to the M1 and M40, Fawsley Hall also makes the ideal wedding venue.

Home to the Knightley family for nearly 500 years, Fawsley Hall was built for society living and entertaining. Queen Elizabeth I was entertained here in 1575 and the tradition of treating guests royally continues to this day. The Queen’s original suite, with its soaring roof, delicately carved fireplace and sumptuous four-poster bed, exemplifies the luxury and charm of this historic hotel.

Fawsley Hall offers exclusive-use weddings for up to 150 guests with the entire Hall at their disposal including the grand surroundings of the Tudor Great Hall. There are a total of 52 Tudor, Georgian, Victorian or modern classic bedrooms and suites, each reflecting a period of style and luxuriously furnished, with glorious views of the grounds designed by Capability Brown.

Fawsley Hall has an unrivalled reputation for fine cuisine and the recently launched Bess’s Brasserie complements Equilibrium, the hotel’s fine dining restaurant. As well as the magnificent original Hall, the newly opened Knightley Court has a stunning function room holding up to 120 guests and the Valentine Suite, with hand-painted mural walls, is perfect for civil ceremonies.

Before or after the wedding, why not be pampered in the spa where you’ll find a beauty salon, fitness studio, steam room, sauna and spa bath.

For couples wishing to explore the area, Fawsley Hall is within easy reach of Silverstone Race Circuit, Shakespeare’s Cottage at Stratford-upon-Avon and the ancestral homes at Sulgrave Manor, Blenheim Palace and Althorp. Fawsley is also well situated for visiting Oxford and Bicester Village Outlet Mall. For more information about Fawsley Hall call 01372 892000 or visit www.fawsleyhall.com.
