A Victorian pub in Stockport is gaining popularity among couples seeking an affordable yet elegant wedding venue. This venue, situated on Stockport Road in Hyde, hosts numerous functions each month, providing a cost-effective solution without compromising on quality.
The venue, which includes a dedicated wedding and private functions space known as The Bluebell, hosts around 15 events each month, with an average of five weddings. This year alone, it is expected to host over 200 events, including more than 50 weddings. A wedding fayre is scheduled for 13 October.
The Bluebell opened in 2008 and is fully licensed to conduct wedding ceremonies.
