Say “I Do” Under the Stars: Jodrell Bank Launches Out-of-This-World Weddings!

Calling all star-crossed lovers! Jodrell Bank, the iconic Cheshire landmark and UNESCO World Heritage Site, is now offering unique wedding packages for the first time in its 80-year history.

Imagine exchanging vows beneath a virtual sky of shimmering moons, planets, and constellations. The newly inaugurated Space Dome, a 144-capacity curved cinema planetarium, provides a truly out-of-this-world ceremony setting.

Following your celestial vows, celebrate with a cosmic drinks reception in the stunning First Light Pavilion. This 76-meter diameter architectural marvel, crafted from concrete and steel, pays homage to ancient stone circles, offering an unparalleled backdrop for post-ceremony celebrations.

“We are thrilled to offer couples a truly out-of-this-world wedding experience,” says Jennifer Holland, Venue Hire Manager at Jodrell Bank. “With our innovative intergalactic ceremony and unparalleled reception spaces, we aim to make every couple’s special day a celestial celebration to remember.”

This exciting addition joins Jodrell Bank’s already successful portfolio of event spaces, placing them alongside fellow University of Manchester Cultural Institutions like Manchester Museum and The Whitworth Art Gallery. Together, they offer couples across the North West a collection of beautifully unique venues.
