Choosing your wedding venue is the first step towards creating your perfect day. We understand how important this is, and we would be delighted to welcome you to the most magical location – St Cross, by the water meadows of the river Itchen, Winchester.
St Cross is one of the oldest Almshouse in the country in continuous use – founded by Henri de Blois, the grandson of William the Conqueror in 1132. It has simply stunning architecture and beautiful grounds both of which make for excellent photography.
Of course the best way to know for sure is to come and see it for yourself.
We will be delighted to show you to help you select the best option for you.
