Important Notice

Please note that in 2024, 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 2024, but we are taking bookings for 2025. However, if you are interested, we can put your name and contact information on our waitlist for when we do begin taking bookings. Our other wedding venue Cannon Hall remains available to hire in 2024.
