A setting with a
story to tell.
Standing opposite Norwich Cathedral and welcoming guests for 800 years, the Maids Head is one of England's oldest hotels and a setting unlike any other in the city. Across eight interconnected buildings, historic architecture, original features and centuries of stories create a backdrop that feels both grand and deeply personal.
From intimate ceremonies to grand celebrations, our historic spaces offer a beautiful setting for every kind of wedding. Explore four distinctive venues, each combining timeless character with its own unique atmosphere, and find the perfect place to say ‘I do’.
A table worth gathering around.
Food and drink play an important role in every celebration, and our team works closely with couples to create an experience that feels personal to the occasion. From arrival drinks and canapés to wedding breakfasts and evening receptions, menus are carefully crafted using seasonal ingredients and the same attention to detail found throughout the WinePress Restaurant.
Whether you're planning an intimate wedding or a larger celebration, every menu is thoughtfully designed to bring your guests together and make your day truly memorable.
