About The Woodlands at Hothorpe

If you would like to add some natural rustic charm to your wedding or you are keen to recreate that festival feel with the guaranteed comfort of a warm and dry venue, The Woodlands could be just the venue. Choose from indoor or outside civil ceremony

Located on the border of Leicestershire and Northamptonshire, The Woodlands is a unique venue nestled within expansive grounds. Licenced for both indoor and outdoor ceremonies, it really does offer the best of both worlds.

With floor to ceiling glass doors that slide open, lots of outside space, stunning tipi with a firepit you can truly make the most of the surroundings.
Indoors, the venue is made up of three large, light and recently refurbished rooms, with the bar and lounge area in the centre. Outdoors, the space offers the perfect opportunity for celebratory drinks in the tipi, lawn games and outdoor dining for the evening.

Surrounding the venue is guest accommodation lodges and snugs, and further into the woods you will find The Treehouse, which makes the most amazing newlywed suite.
The food and drink options are as flexible and fun as the venue. With everything from canapés to a wedding breakfast BBQ or a beer table to a gin bar, you’re sure to find something to suit you.

We also offer the Intimate Wedding Package, designed for 30 people, for those who want to celebrate with close family and friends on a smaller scale. Further guests can be added at a supplement charge.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to of the fantastic staff at The Woodlands who made our day so wonderful.
From booking, through to planning, tasting and the big day itself, everything was wonderful. I think just about everyone who came said what a beautiful venue it is. We were so lucky on the day to be able to use The Hideaway for the ceremony, to hear the birds chirruping throughout was quite magical. The venue rooms themselves were just perfect for the flow of everyone throughout the day, having the guest rooms so close by meant that everyone could take time for themselves to relax during the quieter parts of the day and come back to party when they were ready. The food was gorgeous, more than we could have expected.
Staying in the Treehouse overnight just topped it off. Waking up in the beautiful countryside with a coffee on the balcony was perfect. Being able to share breakfast with our wonderful guests was so special. They all had great reviews of their rooms as well.
We are so glad that we chose The Woodlands for our day.

From the bottom of our hearts thank you! It was the most perfect and magical day and better than we could have ever imagined. Thanking whoever up there was looking down on us on Friday with the weather as it made the biggest difference! Everything about the day was perfect, the way everything flowed it didn’t feel like there was any waiting around or awkward breaks.
We are so grateful for everything you did for us and we had so so many lovely compliments saying that our wedding had set the bar for all future weddings.
