Choosing the Right Venue for Your Celebration of Life
Planning a funeral reception or celebration of life is a deeply personal experience, and choosing the right setting is an important part of honouring your loved one. At Allerton Manor, we provide a variety of on-site venues, each suited to different types and sizes of gatherings. Whether you’re planning a small, intimate memorial or a larger celebration of life, our team is here to help you find the perfect space.
For an Intimate Gathering
If you’re planning a smaller, more private gathering for fewer than 20 guests, The Old Stables Restaurant is an ideal choice. This cosy, welcoming venue offers a peaceful environment for close family and friends to gather. With bookings available for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, it provides the perfect setting for a reflective and personal reception, where memories can be shared in a relaxed, intimate atmosphere.
For Small to Mid-Sized Receptions
For gatherings of between 30 and 60 guests, Fletcher’s Bar offers a traditional and warm interior, complete with its own private bar. This space is perfect for those looking for a more casual, relaxed reception. The venue also opens up to our outdoor beer garden, providing guests with a comfortable environment to celebrate a life well-lived. Fletcher’s Bar is particularly suited for those who prefer a more informal gathering, allowing for easy conversation and connection.
For Medium-Sized Memorials
If you expect between 40 and 120 guests, The Hay Loft is the ideal venue. This beautifully restored Grade II listed building retains many of its original features, creating an elegant and serene atmosphere. The Hay Loft features a private bar and a tranquil outdoor covered terrace, offering guests a blend of indoor and outdoor space. It is an excellent choice for those who want a more traditional and refined setting to reflect on their loved one’s life.
For Larger Celebrations of Life
For receptions with over 120 guests, Fletcher’s Marquee offers a versatile and spacious setting. In the winter, it is fully enclosed and heated, featuring a large screen and starlit ceiling, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. During the warmer months, the marquee opens up, providing an airy and open-ended space with a peaceful outdoor ambience. With its private bar and flexible layout, Fletcher’s Marquee is ideal for those who need a larger venue to accommodate a wide circle of family and friends.
Nearby Churches and Crematorium
Allerton Manor is conveniently located near several key sites, making it easy for guests to transition from the service to the reception. We are just a short distance from Springwood Crematorium, and nearby churches such as All Hallows Church and St. Barnabas Church offer beautiful settings for funeral services. Our location ensures that, no matter where the service takes place, Allerton Manor is an easily accessible venue for your gathering.
