10 Reasons To Choose Knightor

We’re probably a little biased - we can’t help it! - but we truly believe that our venue is an incredibly special place to say ‘I do’. Here are just a few reasons why...
Stay, Celebrate and Relax

Our couples love celebrating their wedding here at Knightor with the luxury of staying on-site with their nearest and dearest. We offer accommodation for up to 20 guests, ideal for extending your big day into a whole wedding weekend.

The 6 bedroom Manor House is perfect for family or friends to settle into, while the 3 cosy Shepherds Huts provide an idyllic countryside escape. For the newlyweds, retire to our romantic Orchard Barn Honeymoon Suite.

If you’re thinking of adding additional space, we also have plenty of room for camping!
This summer Bella Kernow created a gorgeous bell tent village for T&H’s wedding day, adding additional room for 10 guests and a beauty room.

Whatever the Weather

If there’s one thing we can’t control, it’s the Cornish skies – but rest assured, rain or shine, your wedding will be covered. With access to both indoor and outdoor spaces, you’ll have the flexibility to bring your dream day to life - just the way you imagined.
​

You can enjoy your wedding meal outdoors in the sunny courtyard or head indoors to the barn for a warm, rustic celebration.

​Traditional Cornish Charm

Tucked away in the heart of Mid Cornwall, the venue is steeped in history and character. Set within a courtyard of granite and oak barns, the setting offers a true sense of place - rustic, romantic, and unmistakably Cornish.
With the sweeping countryside views, you can create a backdrop that feels both timeless and intimate.

​
Your On-Hand Weddings Team
​

With our dedicated team by your side, you’ll be supported every step of the way. The coordinators, Elena and Isla, bring over 10 years of combined wedding experience and a genuine passion for making every celebration seamless and stress-free.

Party Into the Night

Your wedding day deserves a celebration that doesn’t end too early, and with our late licence, you can keep the music playing and the drinks flowing well into the night. Enjoy the music and bar until midnight on weekdays, and until 1am on Fridays and Saturdays.
​

With space for up to 150 of your friends and family, there’s plenty of room to dance, laugh, and make unforgettable memories. After all, it’s your day - why not make the most of every moment?

Easy to Find

Perched in an enviable position above the shores of St Austell Bay, Knightor offers the best of both worlds - a secluded countryside setting that remains wonderfully easy to reach. We’re just a short walk from the world-famous Eden Project, making your wedding weekend even more memorable for you and your guests.

For those travelling, the A30 is only 15 minutes away, with excellent road connections across Cornwall. St Austell train station is just 10 minutes by car, while Newquay Airport can be reached in around 40 minutes - perfect for guests arriving from further afield.
​

With ample onsite parking available, everyone can arrive with ease and enjoy the day without worry.

​
From Vineyard to Table

One of the things that makes Knightor truly unique is our very own working winery right here on the grounds. It’s the perfect added touch to your wedding day, giving you and your guests the chance to enjoy something a little different and distinctly Cornish.

When you book your wedding with us, you’ll also be treated to a complimentary wedding wine tasting - a chance to sample our wines, discover your favourites, and choose the perfect bottles for your celebration.
​

On the day itself, you might incorporate a wine tasting into your drinks reception, raise a glass of Knightor fizz for your toast, or surprise your guests with our signature Cornish Spritz, made with our popular rosé vermouth - a firm favourite for weddings.

Just the Two of You

We don’t believe weddings should be defined by numbers. At Knightor, there’s no minimum capacity - so you can celebrate exactly how you want to.
​

From an elopement for just the two of you, to an intimate wedding with up to 30 guests, or a larger gathering of 90 in the day and 150 in the evening, the space is flexible to suit your plans.

A Bar That’s Personal to You

No set packages – just a bar tailored to your day. At Knightor, we’re flexible with what we stock and can order in your favourites, whether that’s a signature cocktail, a special spirit, or the drink that means the most to you.
​

Our team can also help create bespoke serves for your reception, giving your drinks offering a truly personal touch.

Your wedding should feel like yours from start to finish. At Knightor, you have the freedom to style the venue exactly as you wish - from flowers and colours to the details that matter most to you.
​

Whether you imagine rustic touches with wildflowers, elegant candlelight, or something vibrant and bold, the spaces can be shaped to reflect your style and personality.

Please note Knightor is a working winery and old farmstead so there are areas of rough ground, uneven levels and steps and thresholds to be negotiated. Visitors and guests need to wear appropriate footwear and take extra care.
