Important Notice

Please note that in 2025, the Ironworks and the surrounding site will be undergoing some renovations, therefore we will keep you updated on our website. Whilst this is very exciting news for the site, it also unfortunately means we will be unable to offer the Ironworks to hire for weddings during 2025 but we will be taking bookings for 2026. Our other wedding venue Cannon Hall remains available to hire in 2025.
