The micro hydro-electric scheme provides enough power for ceremonies, the house and when is not being used is fed into the National Grid.

The Tower is also heated entirely by a biomass boiler that burns logs from the estate and other local sources.  All our waste is fully recycled.

Set amongst ancient woodlands, the gardens are enjoying a renewed focus that includes planting large areas of native roses, wildgrasses and flowers.

All these measures help to reduce the environmental impact of your event.  Enjoy your big day with a clear conscience!

Bonshaw Tower – the perfect place for a green wedding!
