Four Weddings And A Funeral Filming Locations

Guess Where? A Whirlwind Tour of 'Four Weddings and a Funeral'

Ever wondered where the gang from 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' tied the knot, said their 'I dos', and bid their final farewell? Buckle up, my friend, 'cause we're going on a whirlwind tour of the film's iconic locations!

St. Mary's Church, Chippenham

Let's kick things off at the picturesque St. Mary's Church in Chippenham, Wiltshire. This is where most of the weddings took place. Yep, you heard it right. The film's producers loved it so much, they used it for three out of the four weddings. Can you blame them? With its stunning architecture and charming atmosphere, it's the perfect backdrop for a romantic ceremony.

Fun fact: The church's real name is St. Mary the Virgin, but who's counting? Oh, and it's still very much in use today. So, if you're planning a wedding, you might just be walking in Charlie and Carrie's footsteps!

Sudeley Castle, Winchcombe

Now, let's talk about the one wedding that didn't happen at St. Mary's. That's right, we're heading to Sudeley Castle in Winchcombe, Gloucestershire. This stunning 15th-century castle was the setting for Hugh Grant's character, Charles, and his first attempt at the big 'I do'.

Did you know? The castle is also home to the last private royal grave in England. Queen Katherine Parr, Henry VIII's sixth wife, is buried here. Talk about a royal connection!

Chilton Foliat, Near Hungerford

Alright, let's switch gears and talk about that funeral. The one that brought our beloved characters together in the most unexpected way. The scene was shot in the quaint village of Chilton Foliat, near Hungerford in Berkshire.

Here's a fun tidbit: The village pub, The Red Lion, was used as the location for the wake. So, if you ever find yourself in the area, you can raise a glass to the memory of Mr. Bean's character, Gareth, in style!

Film locations for Four Weddings And A Funeral, in London

London, London, Baby!

Of course, no tour of 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' would be complete without a stop in the big smoke itself. The film is peppered with iconic London locations, from the streets of Islington where Charles and Carrie first met, to the picturesque Regent's Park where they had their final, fateful encounter.

Did you know? The film's famous 'Is it still raining?' scene was shot outside a pub called The Eagle on Islington's Upper Street. Sadly, the pub has since been demolished, but the spirit of that iconic moment lives on.

And there you have it, folks! Our whirlwind tour of 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' is over. But the fun doesn't have to stop there. Why not grab your friends, dust off your best '90s wardrobe, and recreate your own romantic comedy tour of these iconic locations?
