Weddingsat Williamson Park
The Ashton Memorial Folly was commissioned by James Williamson,
Lord Ashton, as a tribute to his late wife. Born in Lancaster, Lord Ashton
became a millionaire, producing oil-cloth and linoleum which was exported
all over the world.
The Memorial was designed by John Belcher and completed in 1909.
The interior has been superbly restored and we are pleased to offer it as a
venue for a memorable wedding ceremony. The large windows allow light
to stream in all around, dancing across the exquisite marble floor and
reflected all around the walls. The grand ceiling displays murals depicting
the achievements of Lancaster’s citizens and their contribution to British
commerce and culture, the centrepiece is a magnificent ornate light fitting.
The wedding party and guests enter and leave through the eastern entrance
which faces the superb Edwardian Palm House, now home to the park’s
collection of colourful tropical butterflies, separated from the Ashton Memorial
by an attractive mosaic at the centre of which is the Lancashire Rose.
Williamson Park
A fter the Ceremony…
After the ceremony the park is at your disposal. The unique architecture and
delightful landscape are a photographer’s delight, giving endless possibilities
for creating a truly memorable album of traditional or more creative
photographs. In addition to the memorial itself with its grand pillars and
sweeping staircases, other attractions include a secluded glade with its own
waterfall, a Lake complete with arched bridge and the Lancaster Sundial on
the base of the former Bandstand. Overlooking the historic city of Lancaster,
Morecambe Bay and the Lake District Fells, the park gives you a stunning,
scenic backdrop to your pictures.
Weddings
Gardens
The outdoor viewing gallery on the first floor gives visitors the opportunity
to see distant landmarks identified by brass plaques around its balustrades.
On a clear day, even the Isle of Man and Blackpool Tower are visible and,
on the eastern side, the Forest of Bowland and hills of the Yorkshire Dales.
Should you have younger, somewhat restless guests there is plenty of space
outdoors for them to let off steam and work is in progress on a completely
new playground area. The Pavilion Café sells drinks, snacks and light meals
and, next door, the gift shop sells an excellent range of souvenirs including
colouring books and pencils. Combined entrance tickets are also available
in the shop for the Butterfly House, the creepy-crawly Mini Beast Cave,
free-flying Bird Enclosure and a Garden full of furry friends!
