Hillside weddings
We understand the stress caused by weddings and really … we don’t like it and certainly do not want to add to it. We like yes as an answer, we like of course as a response and we like no problem when one appears to be surfacing.
Our superb venue is the ideal wedding reception venue in Herefordshire and Gloucestershire – set in the rolling hills of the Forest of Dean and big enough to accommodate up to 200 guests for your wedding breakfast (the term wedding breakfast apparently comes from the term break (the) fast as it was common for the bride and groom to fast before marriage vows!) and your evening wedding party.
We would love to hear from you if you are interested in having your wedding or reception at Hillside Brewery, simply fill in your details below and we will get back to you shortly to discuss your event.
