why choose somerley for your UK Destination wedding

Set on the edge of the New Forest within a magnificent 7,000-acre estate, Somerley House embodies Georgian grandeur and timeless English elegance. Owned by the Earls of Normanton since 1828, the house remains a private family home, occupied today by the current Earl — the eldest son of the Sixth Earl of Normanton.

Behind its stately façade lies a home of remarkable warmth and character. The Picture Gallery, with its soaring ceilings and classical proportions, offers a magnificent setting for a ceremony or wedding breakfast, while the surrounding parkland provides endless opportunities for outdoor celebrations beneath the Hampshire sky.
