About Lower Lode
An independent inn with celebrations in its story.
Lower Lode is a family-owned traditional pub and wedding venue, set apart on the Gloucestershire bank of the River Severn.

A working riverside inn
A historic pub with a character of its own
A family-owned traditional inn dating from the 15th century.
The pub, garden, river, accommodation and campsite welcome visitors beyond wedding days. That living identity is part of what makes a celebration here feel grounded and informal.
The separate function hall gives weddings their own space and energy. Inside the main building, a smaller approved ceremony room offers a more intimate alternative.

The Lower Lode approach
Warm, practical and personal
Public wedding feedback repeatedly returns to the team’s friendly, hands-on support. This website summarises that pattern without turning individual comments into invented promises.
A personal approach still needs clarity. The venue prepares proposals around the date and plan discussed; couples should confirm inclusions, responsibilities and terms in writing.

The main Lower Lode Inn website serves pub visitors, diners, campers, room guests and people attending events. Lower Lode Weddings brings the wedding journey into one focused place while keeping a clear link back to the inn.
Operational updates, opening information and broader venue activity remain available on the Lower Lode Inn website.
