Built in the early 19th century, Astley Bank is truly Darwen’s hidden gem — a stunning Victorian property set within beautifully landscaped gardens, complete with a grand fountain that creates a magical, fairy-tale backdrop for your wedding day. Every corner offers picture-perfect moments, ensuring photographs you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
There’s nothing more special than celebrating with all your family and friends in one unforgettable place. Toast with champagne in the soft natural light of our romantic ceremony hall, then dance the night away as your celebration continues into the evening.
At Astley Bank, we understand that no two weddings are ever the same. That’s why we offer a wide range of fully bespoke wedding packages, allowing you to personalise every detail and create a day that truly reflects your love story. Our dedicated wedding team is here to support you as much, or as little, as you need, guiding you from your first enquiry through to your final farewell.
Fully licensed to host your vows and reception, our gorgeous ceremonial hall overlooks sublime gardens and is flooded with natural light, offering a dreamlike vibe. This charming space can seat up to 120 guests during the day, while for the evening, capacity can be increased to 180. We also have other spaces perfect for a more intimate wedding. We can help if you are getting married abroad and thinking of having a party to celebrate with family and friends when you return from your honeymoon. We aim to be your home away from home and make your visit as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. To make the best day of your life last a little longer, retire to our impressive bridal suite. Our facilities are your playground, and we are sure your guests will love our individually designed bedrooms. With a well stocked bar and an outstanding team to attend to your guests, we will be delighted to create unforgettable experiences for you, unforgettable for all the right reasons.
As a family-run hotel with over 25 years of wedding experience, we are proud to provide an exquisite setting where your entire day can unfold seamlessly, from “I do” to the last dance. We would be honoured to be part of your celebration. Here’s to a lifetime of love, joy, and unforgettable memories.
