As a shameless geek, I think this would be an AMAZING place to get married!
Imagine having your marriage birthed in the same place as modern computing!!

It's a bit outside Derbyshire but we're having our reception at Whiston Manorial Barn. Cost us £350 hire, we have to use their DJ and caterers but they've worked to our budget (pie & pea supper) but can do pretty much anything I think. Only downside is very little outside space, but the interior is beautiful.
Otherwise, Losehill House Hotel?0 -

We loved the look of this place, sadly they can have 100 for the wedding service but only 80 for the breakfast (we need 100) they were really limited with the times of year too. We found a place in the end, donnington Park Farm - old converted farm butildings - we will be eating our wedding breakfast in the pig barn!!Recently married and loving it x0 -
We paid £2500 for the hotel, 3 course meal for 50, pimms, one glass of wine, a glass of champagne, rolls and sausage/bacon for the buffet with tea & coffee, a night in the penthouse suite for myself& husband (with sauna, steam room and jaquzzi in own spa room!), master of ceremonies, table linen, centre pieces. We paid £4.95 per chair cover, £70 for confetti from the ceiling in our first dance, £300 for the DJ. It was a thursday wedding.0
