The outdoor ceremony space, The Hideaway, is hidden in the forest and features a rustic structure. In the springtime, the cherry tree beside the Hideaway will be in full bloom, with blossom adding a touch of spring colour. In the summer, the vibrant green shades of the forest trees add a truly enchanting atmosphere. By autumn and winter, this spot becomes cosy with warm tones. Their indoor venue will always be ready for use with no advance warning, meaning that you don't need to worry about the weather. Additionally, the Luxury Tipi and Outdoor Kitchen are available to complement this space.

The other wedding space at The Woodlands at Hothorpe is the Main Venue, which has a ceremony room, dining area, bar and terrace. This incredible indoor space is modern and sleek with a wood panelled exterior, whilst charming and rustic on the inside with high ceilings and striking wooden beams. In the spring and summer you can expect this room to be lit by the sunshine pouring through the treetop canopy. The layout of this space allows for a seamless transition from day to night without impacting guests. This means you can have your ceremony, reception and evening celebrations (on the spacious dance area) all under one roof.
