Tucked away in the beautiful East Lothian countryside, Tyninghame Village Hall is a unique and charming venue for an intimate and unforgettable wedding day.
As the Hall sits at the heart of a quiet village community, we limit weddings to just six per year to ensure we remain considerate neighbours. This makes each celebration here all the more special—and availability very limited!
