Welcome to Leighton Hall

The house and grounds are now open!

The historic home of the world-renowned Gillow furniture making family, Leighton Hall is a stunning location for a day out, an exclusive wedding or extraordinary corporate event.

Its romantic Gothic towers and acres of beautiful gardens annually lure thousands of visitors, who are as enthralled with Leighton's fascinating heritage as they are captivated by the breathtaking beauty of their surroundings.

Leighton Hall is a perfect venue whether you're a teacher looking for an educational outing, a bride searching for her very own fairy tale castle (Leighton has a license to conduct civil ceremonies) or a producer seeking out an unusual location.

Leighton Hall can be found in the north of Lancashire, just outside Carnforth, a few miles from the city of Lancaster nestling in a bowl of parkland against a backdrop of English Lake District hills.

The Hall is open to the general public from May to September, but pre booked groups and private parties are welcome all year round.
