Hothorpe Hall

Hothorpe Estate brings together a historic country house and The Woodlands, a purpose-built venue set among trees on the Leicestershire and Northamptonshire border. The estate offers spaces for weddings, corporate gatherings and private celebrations, with countryside surroundings and overnight accommodation available at The Woodlands.

The Woodlands is designed for exclusive-use weddings, with indoor and outdoor settings for ceremonies and receptions. Couples can consider The Glade, the woodland Hideaway, a tipi and the Courtyard Kitchen & Bar when planning the day. Its accommodation includes lodges, studios and a distinctive treehouse suite, with capacity for up to 46 overnight guests. The estate also invites couples to arrange a personal tour and explore the venue before making plans.

For business organisers, The Woodlands provides settings for presentations, strategy sessions, retreats, product launches and team gatherings. The Sapwood can host presentations for up to 150 people or dining for up to 120, while smaller spaces support breakout discussions. Outdoor areas, a bar and dining options allow organisers to build in time for informal networking and shared meals. Woodland accommodation makes it possible for groups to stay after a full programme.

Private hire is also available for milestone birthdays, anniversaries, retirement celebrations and other gatherings. The Glade, The Heartwood, the tipi and outdoor spaces offer different atmospheres and layouts, from seated dining to relaxed receptions. With a heritage house, contemporary event spaces, gardens and woodland settings in one estate, Hothorpe gives event planners several styles of venue to consider. The estate is undergoing a programme of restoration and redevelopment, so planners should contact the team to discuss current availability and arrangements.
