AN ITALIAN VILLA IN CHESHIRE
A Grade II Listed Town Hall Built Like an Italian Villa
Runcorn Town Hall is a Grade II listed building set in extensive, Green Flag award-winning grounds, modelled on an Italian villa complete with its own Belvedere Tower. It holds five suites, giving couples a genuine choice of ceremony spaces — from the stately Council Chamber, with its ornate plasterwork and grand windows, to the intimate Peace Garden Pergola, tucked away in the award-winning gardens.
Other ceremony rooms include the Drawing Room, with its period bay window and parkland views, and the Leiria Suite on the ground floor. The main hall itself hosts the reception afterwards, suited to both an elegant wedding breakfast and a lively evening celebration.

Making the Most of Runcorn Town Hall

The Peace Garden Pergola is a lovely spot if your ceremony or portraits can use it — tucked away in the award-winning gardens, it gives a genuinely different backdrop from the grand interior rooms.
