Non-religious ceremonies at Barlaston

A unique setting for your special occasion.

St John’s at Barlaston Hall is our deconsecrated church and sits within the grounds of the Barlaston Estate, a short walk away from the Hall, surrounded by the stunning Staffordshire countryside. A unique opportunity to hold your non-religious ceremony in a beautiful historic 12th-century church building.

A very special place

St John’s at Barlaston Hall is a deconsecrated church nestled within the grounds of the Barlaston Estate. St John’s perfectly marries the architectural charm and history of a church building with the desire for an atmospheric space to hold non-religious civil ceremonies.
