Buile Hill Mansion transformation steps up

Exciting plans to transform the Grade II listed Buile Hill Mansion into a stunning wedding venue are taking shape.

The original grand staircase is being restored back to its former glory, and ornate ceilings are being carefully refurbished to keep the splendour and character of the building.

The mansion will be available for weddings and functions from early 2026, with a ceremony room for up to 80 people and a separate function room, also for up to 80 people. The newly refurbished Buile Hill Park Hall, next to the mansion, is available for larger weddings and functions. The gardens at the back of the mansion are being landscaped and will make the perfect spot for wedding photos, and a new car park next to the mansion is almost complete.

As well as a wedding venue, the mansion, which is at the heart of Buile Hill Park, will be the new home of Salford Register Office. It will also have a café on the ground floor, and a community room for local groups to book for meetings and activities.

Generations of Salfordians visited the mansion when it was a mining museum, and many talk about the lift shaft that went down, but actually never moved! The mining museum closed its doors in 2000 and the mansion lay empty until late in 2023 when the building work started to bring it back to life.
