About this space
Filled with an eclectic mix of wall finishes, furniture, props & art work, it can be as creative and malleable as you wish.
The old bar, commercial kitchen and mature garden space are at the heart of the building leaving the rest as both a colourful & blank palette.
This is a versatile place that can handle anything from fun parties to photoshoots.

My husband, Sam, and I would 100% recommend The Roost for any future weddings! The venue is unlike any other we’ve been to before. It is unique, creative, and full of character, which made our day truly special.
The Venue
The Roost is ideal for couples who are a bit quirky, down to earth, and love a rustic, eclectic setting. As it’s primarily a photography studio, every corner offers an amazing photo opportunity, from vintage furniture to beautiful natural light.
Our Day
I got ready on the 2nd floor in a stunning room filled with character, complete with vintage bedroom furniture and an ensuite bath, perfect for those fairytale “getting ready” photos!
Our ceremony took place on the 1st floor in the smaller room with just 24 guests, creating an intimate and personal atmosphere. We then moved into the adjoining larger room for our wedding breakfast, followed by our evening reception on the ground floor where our other guests joined us.
It was the perfect space for our 90 guests, even with room for my cousin to play a few acoustic songs and plenty of space for everyone to dance! Later, we headed down to the basement where our DJ was set up, that’s where we had our first dance and partied the night away.
The Team
We honestly couldn’t have done it without Steph and Dave. Steph set up our initial call, handled all the booking details, admin, and invoicing. She kindly contacted our catering team to make sure everything was set up for the day and all legal documents were confirmed. While Dave managed everything on-site. He showed us around beforehand and was there on the day to help with anything we needed. Both were absolutely amazing - super friendly, professional, and so easy to work with.
A Little Tip
The venue doesn’t allow confetti (understandably, since it’s tricky to clean), but we chose bubble guns instead, and we’re so glad we did! The photos turned out incredible.
If you’re looking for a unique, character-filled venue in a convenient location, book The Roost - you won’t regret it!
Love,
Katie & Sam xxx

The Roost is a great quirky, stylish and beautiful venue, rich in spaces and opportunities. The garden, three floors incl. Bar, dancefloor and eclectic furniture. We had a really fun and memorable wedding reception here and our guests loved it.
Steph, Dave and Barry were great to work with, responsive, helpful and reasonable to our requests.
There is a list of preferred caterers but you can also bring in your own.
It's worth noting that you have to exit the venue by midnight which is a shame when you've spent a lot of time setting it up.
It's a dry hire which means you have to bring everything: from atmospheric lightbulbs, barware, plus move the heavy furniture around. This can be taken care of for a fee, which we chose to do.

Dave and Steph were literally amazing from beginning to end, nothing we asked or wanted was too much. The communication from Steph throughout was second to none, and we were kept informed and up to date at every step. On our wedding day, Dave could not have been more helpful. He genuinely went above and beyond every single expectation, and became a true part of our day and one of the guests, rather than just someone who worked there.
The guests were raving about the venue, and Dave in person, to me and my husband all day and night, and couldn’t even find the words to how lovely, and funny and ridiculously helpful he was, doing everything he could to make our day the most incredible day.
We truly will never forget it and we can’t thank you guys enough. You have been incredible.
On another note, the interior is absolutely breathtaking, so beautiful and quirky and different. Truly a unique experience.
That I can’t live there.
