Allum Manor House and Hall

Allum Manor House and Hall is a hireable manor house and function hall on Allum Lane in Elstree, Hertfordshire, about twenty minutes from central London. It is run as a blank canvas for weddings and civil ceremonies.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

GLW recommends Allum Manor for couples who want to bring their own vision rather than fit into a set package. You can choose your own suppliers and dress the space as you like, so the day can reflect both of you. The venue says its team will help shape the space to your plans. Being close to London also helps if your guests are travelling from across the country. The mix of a hall, a historic house and outdoor areas gives you several ways to plan the day, whether you want a single room or a more spread-out celebration.

Ceremonies

Weddings and civil ceremonies are listed among the events hosted here. Spaces include Allum Hall, the historic Manor House and outdoor areas. Confirm with the team which room suits the size and style of your ceremony, as capacities are not published.

Receptions and food

You can bring your own caterer and your own entertainment, and there is no corkage charge on alcohol you supply. That flexibility suits couples who want a specific cuisine, a family recipe or a favourite local restaurant. Bar arrangements and layout are open to your plans. The hall can host a seated meal and an evening party, subject to the numbers agreed in advance.

Staying

The venue does not publish accommodation details. Elstree, Borehamwood and nearby Radlett have hotels and guest houses, and central London is easily reached for those who prefer a city base.

Getting there and the area

Allum Lane runs between Elstree and Borehamwood, close to the A1 and within reach of the M25 and M1. Elstree and Borehamwood station has direct trains towards central London. Parking is free, which helps when guests arrive by car, and the village green and local pubs are nearby for a relaxed gathering before or after the day.
