The Red Pump Inn is a new wedding venue in Clitheroe

The Red Pump Inn at Bashall Eaves in Clitheroe is best known as a B&B with a well-stocked bar, delicious food and French-inspired bedrooms. Steeped in history dating back to 1756, the owners Jonathan and Fran built their daughter Ciara a yurt for her wedding in 2021. The couple were delighted and guests told them to keep it up because their ‘your wedding, your way’ philosophy was just what the area needed. Having a background in construction and having already built the Red Pump Inn’s glamping yurts and shepherd’s huts, Jonathan built the bespoke wedding yurt and has since hosted a handful of weddings.

Jonathan tells us: “We only hold weddings between May and September and want to limit to one wedding a week, so couples get a truly bespoke service; we don’t want them to feel as though they’re on a wedding conveyor belt and rushed. Couples get exclusive venue hire, including all our accommodation and they don’t have to use our catering. Brides and grooms have chosen everything from a three-course meal to a variety of street food trucks. They can bring in whichever planner, décor and photographer they wish to; all we ask is they use our bar licence and service and of course our accommodation for friends and family.”
