The History of Brockholes
Brockholes is a picturesque wedding venue located in Preston, Lancashire, set within a sprawling 250-acre nature reserve. This unique venue is renowned for its exceptional architecture and natural beauty, offering couples an idyllic setting for their special day. The history of Brockholes dates back to ancient times, with evidence suggesting that the area has been inhabited since the Mesolithic period. However, the site as it stands today was significantly developed in the early 21st century, with the aim of conserving and enhancing the natural environment while providing a sustainable venue for events.
Designed by the highly acclaimed Adam Khan Architects, Brockholes features a floating visitor village which is a marvel of modern engineering and eco-friendly design. The visitor village, which houses the wedding venue, was inaugurated in April 2011. This innovative structure is built on a series of pontoons, allowing it to adapt to fluctuating water levels, thereby minimising the impact on the surrounding wetlands. The project successfully transformed an old gravel quarry into a thriving habitat for wildlife and a serene retreat for human visitors.
Brockholes is situated just a few minutes’ drive from the centre of Preston and is easily accessible from other nearby towns such as Blackburn and Lancaster. It has quickly become a popular destination not only for weddings but also for nature enthusiasts and families seeking a day out amidst the tranquillity of Lancashire’s natural landscape. The venue continues to play a vital role in both community events and conservation efforts, bridging the gap between nature and modern living.
