TOP 20 WEDDING VENUES IN NOTTINGHAMSHIRE & LINCOLNSHIRE
There are so many great wedding venues in Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. I have compiled a list including the most luxurious and unique venues in the Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire area. I hope that this helps you find your dream venue!
HOLYWELL HALL
Holywell Hall - A classic English countryside venue in Lincolnshire with a few stunning options for ceremonies and or receptions. Say, “I do,” amongst the natural beauty of the gardens in either the Garden Terrace or in the Walled Garden itself, and then set up a fun cocktail hour for guests in one of the beautiful corners of the venue before heading to your marquee on the croquet lawn for your reception. Because this is a private residence, it remains a hidden jewel among wedding photographers and locals.
2. STUBTON HALL
Stubton Hall is one of the UK’s exclusive-use wedding venues. The interior of the hall is gorgeous with a distinct and unique style, which makes for so many good photo opportunities throughout the inside and grounds of the venue. Best of all, the stunning country house can hold up to 200 guests, so you can skip the marquee and host your ceremony indoors with ease.

3. NORWOOD PARK
Norwood Park is another exclusive use and private estate in Southwell, Nottinghamshire. The restoration of this estate fused the classic old elements with a new and modern touch. This venue boasts an elegant feel, gorgeous grounds, and a nice touch of whimsy.

4. WOLLATON HALL
One of the UK’s more extravagant wedding venues, Wollaton Hall is a Grade I Elizabethan mansion nestled into the heart of about 500 acres of nature. There are several different areas throughout the hall and the grounds of Deer Park where you can choose to set up for a ceremony. The Great Hall boasts gorgeous archways, hand-carved stone, and beautiful beam ceilings, and the rooftop is a stunning place for unique photos of you and your partner.

5. PRESTWOLD HALL
This is another one of the UK’s grade I homes. It is a private residence, so it must be exclusively booked. What draws couples to Prestwold Hall is the property’s stateliness both inside and outside, and its carefully manicured vibe. You can choose to say, “I do” in the house itself, or out in the Georgian Gazebo with gardens of roses as your backdrop. For couples who want to get married in a church, the church of St. Andrew, another 13th-century establishment, is only a short walk away.

You have freedom over where you want your ceremony to take place, and some couples choose barn weddings, marquee weddings, or even tipi weddings over ceremonies in the hall itself for a more unique vibe.

Hanbeck Farm is a lovely and unique gem that the UK has to offer for couples who want something a little outside the box. This fifth-generation family farm has ducks, chickens, and a few cows roaming the property, as well as a gorgeous stone house built in 1847. The barns and stables were converted into a wedding venue this year, so the place is fairly new overall.

If you are searching for a UK wedding venue with a gorgeous barn for your ceremony to take place in, look no further. Abbey Farm Weddings has two to choose from––the Oak Barn, and the Granary Barn, which is 450 years old! This venue is also unique in that it has its own 13th-century church on the property, so you could say, “I do,” at St. Leonard’s Church, and then hitch a ride on one of the venue’s tractors/trailers back to the farm.

I have chosen these venues based on unique or luxurious elements of the venue. Keep in mind that while some do supply items like chairs, keep in mind that often couples hire their own chairs that fit more with their vision for the day.
