Top 5 Autumn Wedding Venues in the Midlands
There’s something uniquely romantic about autumn weddings. The crisp air, soft golden sunlight, and changing leaves make this season a dream for photographers — and a magical time to say “I do.” If you're planning an autumn wedding in the Midlands, here are five standout venues that offer incredible backdrops, beautiful light, and unforgettable atmosphere during the cosiest time of year.
1. Himley Hall – Dudley, West Midlands
A grand Georgian mansion surrounded by rolling parkland
With 180 acres of landscaped grounds, mature trees, and historic architecture, Himley Hall offers a regal yet relaxed atmosphere that comes alive in autumn. The golden leaves lining the drive, reflections over the lake, and beautiful interior spaces make it ideal for romantic portraits — even if the weather turns.
Photographer's Tip: Time your portrait session an hour or two before sunset. The soft autumn light through the trees here is gorgeous.
2. Mythe Barn – Atherstone, Warwickshire
Rustic elegance with a countryside feel
Set in the heart of the Warwickshire countryside, Mythe Barn blends rustic charm with contemporary style. In autumn, the surrounding trees and fields create a palette of oranges, rusts, and ambers. The converted barn’s neutral interiors also work beautifully with seasonal florals and warm-toned styling.
Why We Love It: It’s all in one place — great indoor options, lovely outdoor ceremony spaces, and stunning views across open land.
3. Delbury Hall – Ludlow, Shropshire
Elegant, peaceful, and filled with natural beauty
Delbury Hall is a hidden gem near Ludlow. With lakeside views, walled gardens, and a beautifully restored coach house, it feels personal and peaceful. Autumn here is breathtaking — golden leaves reflected in the water, crisp air, and plenty of space for golden-hour portraits.
Perfect For: Couples who want something elegant but not overdone. Nature is the real star here.

4. Shustoke Barn – Coleshill, Warwickshire
Character, charm, and candlelight
Owned by Cripps & Co, Shustoke Barn is known for its high ceilings, exposed brick, and incredible food. The barn glows in autumn, especially with flickering candles and warm lighting inside. The courtyard outside is perfect for mulled drinks and firepits as the evening cools down.
Autumn Bonus: The interior is moody and magical — ideal if the weather doesn’t cooperate.
5. Curradine Barns – Worcestershire
Romantic, cosy, and full of countryside character
Tucked away in the Worcestershire hills, Curradine Barns is a photographer’s dream in the autumn. Ivy-covered walls turn deep red, and the rustic charm of the barns adds instant warmth to your day. It’s intimate without feeling small, and it works beautifully with seasonal colour palettes.
Great For: Couples planning warm-toned florals, candlelit tables, and relaxed, joyful celebrations.
