The Old Hall, Ely is a country weddings venue set in the heart of Ely, a cathedral city in the East of England, where a beautifully preserved Georgian townhouse sits close to the iconic silhouette of Ely Cathedral and the sweeping Fenland skies beyond.

A Georgian townhouse venue in the heart of Ely's cathedral city, The Old Hall combines characterful historic interiors with the proximity of Ely Cathedral's magnificent tower and the wide Fenland skies that surround this unique island city.

We find venues like this genuinely exciting to think about, because the combination of characterful historic interiors and that extraordinary open landscape gives photographers and filmmakers so much to work with. The warm tones of Georgian architecture, the drama of the cathedral tower on the horizon and the wide, cloud-filled light that rolls in across the Fens create a setting that feels both intimate and quietly grand. It is a venue we would love to bring our cameras to.
