The award-winning Oldwalls Collection, renowned for its premier wedding venues, has just revolutionised the Welsh wedding scene with the launch of a groundbreaking concept: Wales’ first all-inclusive, multi-day wedding experience. With a substantial investment exceeding £200,000, Oldwalls Gower – the group’s founding venue – has been reimagined as an unparalleled bohemian chic-style wedding destination.

Drawing inspiration from its picturesque countryside setting, the revamped Oldwalls Gower promises couples a unique and immersive wedding experience. The transformation includes a complete overhaul of the interiors, meticulously crafted by the group’s acclaimed interior designer, Elizabeth Styles. Known for her work on the luxurious interiors of Fairyhill and Sant Ffraed House, Styles has infused the venue with a fresh bohemian-chic aesthetic, featuring natural materials and designer print wallpaper to create a serene and stylish ambience.

Key features of the 50-acre Oldwalls Gower estate, located at Llwyn Y Bwlch Farm, such as the rustic barn, charming Oakroom, and Glamping Village have all been harmoniously integrated into the venue’s redesign. The garden area, meanwhile, has been transformed to include an outdoor kitchen, a fire pit, and an inviting seating area, perfect for guests to savour the breathtaking landscape.

The culinary offerings at Oldwalls Gower have also been revamped, with the in-house head chef curating feasting-style menus that showcase the finest local produce. This focus on gastronomy ensures that every meal is a celebration of Wales’ rich culinary heritage.

Co-founders Andrew and Simon Hole, who have been at the helm since the establishment of the Oldwalls Collection in 2008, shared their excitement about the venue’s transformation. ‘Oldwalls Gower was one of the pioneers of the exclusive wedding experience in Wales and has been one of the most popular venues in Wales for over 15 years. So we felt that now was the right time to inject a new lease of life into our beautiful founding venue and redevelop the product to embody the multi-day country farm wedding trend,’ they stated. 

‘We can’t wait to unveil the new and improved venue we’ve worked on alongside Liz. The revamped Oldwalls Gower will be fresh and innovative, giving our couples who have already set the date and those searching for their dream venue more choice and flexibility.’

Elizabeth Styles echoed their sentiments, highlighting the creative journey of the redesign. ‘It’s been so much fun working on the Oldwalls Gower redesign. Working with the Oldwalls Collection is always exciting – you get to play with what makes each venue different. With all the space & charm already available on the farm, creating a look  for rustic, festival-style weddings was an obvious choice.’
