5 Village Halls that make for beautiful Budget Wedding venues in Leicestershire

If you’re planning a wedding in Leicestershire and looking for a cheap wedding venue that won’t blow the budget, you might be surprised at how many beautiful, affordable options are out there, in particular, how many lovely village hall venues you can find in the Leicestershire countryside! As a Leicestershire wedding photographer with over 15 years’ experience, I’ve worked at venues of every style and size and I have a perspective on the best venues in Leicestershire – and village halls often steal the show. These charming spaces are perfect for couples planning a relaxed, personal wedding without the hefty price tag. Below, I’m sharing my favourite cheap wedding venues in Leicestershire, all of which offer character, stunning surroundings, and plenty of flexibility.

Foxton Village Hall: Rustic Charm & Scenic Surroundings

Located near Market Harborough, Leicestershire, Foxton Village Hall is a hidden gem for couples planning a budget wedding. I’ve photographed weddings here at least five times, and it’s always a delight. The sandstone walls and large field at the back provide a perfect backdrop for candid, natural photos. Plus, the nearby church in the village adds a lovely touch for those wanting a spiritual ceremony close by.

Why it works:

• Plenty of outdoor space
• Beautiful village setting
• Affordable hire fees

Seagrave Memorial Hall: A Festival Feel in the Countryside

Seagrave Memorial Hall feels more like a festival site than a traditional wedding venue. With a huge open field and a cute, walkable village for couple portraits, it’s a dream for laid-back couples who love greenery and a DIY vibe.

Why it works:

• Large field for outdoor receptions or marquees
• Scenic village perfect for portraits
• DIY-friendly space

Wymeswold Village Hall: Green Backdrops & Gorgeous Walks

Wymeswold Village Hall is nestled in another pretty Leicestershire village, surrounded by countryside and gorgeous walks just a stone’s throw from the hall. It’s one of my favourites for a relaxed wedding with a strong community feel.

Why it works:

• Nearby nature for couple shots
• Cosy yet elegant vibe
• Perfect for DIY weddings

Braunston and Brooke Village Hall: A Quaint Rutland Retreat

Technically in Rutland, but close enough to Leicestershire that it still deserves a place here. Next to this village hall, there’s a beautiful little brook and a bridge right next to the site – ideal for romantic couple photos. The venue gives off a vintage summer tea party vibe that’s hard to resist.

Why it works:

• Stunning natural features (brook, bridge)
• Intimate, rural charm
• Easy access from Leicestershire

Village halls are some of the best cheap wedding venues in Leicestershire, especially for couples dreaming of a personal, relaxed celebration without the high price tag.
