Clevedon Hall
Doctor Chocolate played for a lovely wedding in June 2014 at Clevedon Hall. This is a beautiful venue in the South West of England and perfectly suited to wedding celebrations.
Doctor Chocolate have performed in this venue on many occasions for weddings, dinner dances, corporate events and celebrations of all kinds. Playing in the main hall at Clevedon Hall means the band van can just pull up directly outside and access is easy – we were set up and sound checked in no time at all! Normally Doctor Chocolate set up for a wedding reception/evening party at the bottom of the stairs in the main hall. With two rooms at the rear of the stage area it means the band have somewhere to store empty boxes from the equipment as well as have somewhere to change and wait before we go on for the first set.
In February 2010 the magnificent Clevedon Hall was, for the first time in its 150-year history, opened for private events. It is considered among the top venues in the south west region. It is constructed in Mendip and other local stones with some impressive carvings and pierced-stone ballustrading. It has Dutch gables, a very large orangery and conservatory. It also has a 19th Century French tower. The grounds are luscious with many different varieties of shrubs and trees and some (often playful) wildlife, including red deer, pheasants, foxes, squirrels and ducks. There’s also a resident heron which spends much of its time gazing into the lake hoping to catch lunch. Charles Hill, who owned the Albion Shipyard in Bristol, bought the Hall in 1877 as a family home, and promptly changed its name to Clevedon Hall.
