Wedding reception venue?

Today we went to see a function room at Davyhulme Golf Club.
It is local and seems very lovely.
The clubhouse is an imposing Art Deco style building and it looked great in the autumn sunshine.

The Golf course is what used to be Davyhulme Park which contained Davyhulme Hall.
It has a bit of history......

The seat of the Hulme family since 1154 it has been a farm, a race course and a golf links during its lifetime. First held by the Hulme
family it was sold to William Allen a Manchester banker who went bankrupt in 1788.
Next was the Norris clan which, through succession, changed to Norreys.
The Hall's three stories and architecture were well known throughout the county. The landscaped gardens included an artificial lake. Archery
was another favoured sport on this sprawling land.
Almost the entire estate was demolished in 1888 when there were no buyers.
Before it became a golf links, the Davyhulme Hall grounds were used for a horse racing circuit. On the north side of the Hall there was a grand stand that could accommodate 300 punters c.1850. This emanates from the Norreys family and their sporting activities at the Hall.
When the Golf Club first opened a pavilion of black and white was erected while an existing lodge became home to the ladies and Club Steward. This original club house c.1911 was kept in use until 1937 being made redundant by a new facility.


We may be having our wedding reception in this new facility :-)))))
