Our Sustainability Commitments

At Holdsworth House, we are committed to making weddings as sustainable as they are special. Our historic venue operates with eco-conscious practices, from sourcing seasonal, locally produced ingredients for our award-winning menus to reducing food waste through careful planning. We work with local suppliers to minimise our carbon footprint and support independent businesses. Our beautiful walled gardens provide a natural backdrop for ceremonies and photography, reducing the need for excessive décor, while we also offer digital wedding planning to cut down on paper use. With a strong focus on sustainability, we help couples celebrate their love in a way that is both memorable and environmentally responsible.
