About The Woodlands at Hothorpe
The venue boasts two stunning ceremony locations, both indoor and outdoor, each with their own unique charm. Licensed for up to 120 guests for civil ceremonies, with the option for up to 180 evening guests, The Woodlands offers everything you need to create a truly unique day. The Woodlands offers more than just a picturesque setting, features luxury tipi, an outdoor kitchen, a firepit, a Treehouse Bridal Suite and 22 Woodland lodge bedrooms for you and all your guests.
Tucked away within the beautiful Hothorpe Estate, the charming North Lodge is available exclusively for wedding parties the night before the big day. With spacious, well-appointed bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a bright airy dressing room, there’s plenty of room for your nearest and dearest to get ready together. A fully equipped kitchen and inviting lounge bring a homely touch, while sweeping countryside views set the scene for a truly memorable morning.
Host your wedding ceremony outdoors, our enchanted Hideaway. With dappled sun shining through the trees and birds singing in the open air, you will truly feel at one with nature. With floor to ceiling windows, you can enjoy the best of both worlds with an indoor ceremony room that offers outstanding views over the woods. The contemporary and stylish venue has a truly relaxed atmosphere with natural light in abundance, providing the perfect canvas on which to design your dream wedding.
The Woodlands benefits from having its own in-house kitchen team led by our highly skilled Executive Head Chef. Our carefully curated wedding breakfast options complement the unique setting and are designed to delight and above all taste outstanding! From gourmet dining to relaxed buffets, our extensive food and drink options mean you’re sure to find something that suits your style.
Manicured lawns and wild flowerbeds surround The Woodlands – an ideal location for fun and games, as well as fantastic photo opportunities. Enjoy drinks and lawn games before gathering everyone together to toast marshmallows around the firepit as the sun starts to set.
Nestled in woodland treetops, just away from the main venue hides the stunning Treehouse Suite. Sleep amongst the trees for the first night as a newly married couple. When you book The Woodlands for your wedding day, you and your guests have exclusive access to all of our accommodation so there’s no need for anyone to make a long trip home at the end of the night.
