The Woodlands

The Woodlands is set in the wooded grounds of historic Georgian manor house, Hothorpe Hall. Located in the rural countryside on the border of Leicestershire and Northamptonshire, just a few miles from Market Harborough, The Woodlands is a unique venue for those seeking a casual, rustic luxe vibe to their special day. Often described as a 'village' in its own right, The Woodlands comprises a luxury, contemporary venue of timber and glass construction, boasting large windows that give the impression of being at one with nature even when indoors. There is a bar and dining room, as well as a civil ceremony room - all tastefully and neutrally decorated so that you can put your own stamp on the day. There is plentiful outdoor space for you to use as you choose - lawn games, outdoor dining and partying are all easily accessible surrounding the venue and the adjacent guest accommodation in the shape of lodges and snugs. Further into the woods, you pass the luxury treehouse (which makes the most amazing newlywed suite), there are fairytale glades and our outdoor ceremony area - The Hideaway. This licenced area will be available for enchanted civil ceremonies from Spring 2018. The food options at The Woodlands are plentiful and varied, with lots of choice to suit every palette and style - you can opt for a more formal seated wedding breakfast or perhaps you would rather choose an alternative like an Afternoon Tea or the fabulously fun Host a Roast. The drink options are also varied and you have the option to make choices which suit your style - rum bar, pimp your prosecco or his 'n hers cocktails anyone? If you would like the chance to have a look around we are holding a wedding showcase on Sunday 11th November 12noon-3PM. The Woodlands will be set-up & dressed for a wedding so you can get a full feel for the venue. Please visit www.hothorpe.co.uk/viewwoodlands to register.
