Holme Pierrepont Hall hosts seminars, conferences, corporate dinners, private parties and weddings for up to 120 seated guests or 200 standing when the whole house is hired. The Grade I listed manor house dates from around 1500 and stands on a 30-acre estate at Holme Pierrepont, a few minutes from Trent Bridge and the center of Nottingham.
Seminars and company events
Four reception rooms can be hired for meetings and conferences, set out in theatre, cabaret, classroom or boardroom style. The Long Gallery takes 120 seminar delegates, and the Ballroom and the Drawing Room each take 50. Boardroom layouts suit meetings of under 30 people. Smaller meetings are sold on a day delegate basis that includes the meeting room, use of the gardens, a light lunch, and tea and coffee through the day. Larger groups can hire the whole house, or only the three ground-floor reception rooms for up to 40 guests, either for the day (9 am to 5 pm) or the evening (6 pm to midnight). Free parking and Wi-Fi are provided for delegates.
Weddings and receptions
The hall holds only one wedding at a time, so a couple has the house and gardens to themselves on the day. The Long Gallery (up to 120 guests), the Ballroom (up to 50) and the Medieval Lodgings (up to 40) are licensed for ceremonies and civil partnerships, and the Archway and the Courtyard Garden are licensed for outdoor ceremonies. Up to 120 guests can sit down for the wedding breakfast, and about 150 can attend an evening party. A marquee in the parkland can be arranged for larger events.
Rooms and capacities
The Long Gallery is the largest room, hung with family portraits: 110 for dinner, 200 for a drinks reception, 120 for a seminar. The Medieval Lodgings, two rooms in the oldest part of the house, take 20 to 40 for dinner and 75 for drinks. The Georgian Ballroom opens onto the East Garden and takes 40 for dinner, 50 for a seminar and 100 for drinks, with space for dancing and live music. The Victorian Drawing Room, which also opens to the East Garden, takes 50 for a seminar and 100 for drinks.
Accommodation
The house has two bedrooms for members of the hiring party: the Victorian Bedroom, with a four-poster double bed, and the Kingston Bedroom, with twin beds and room for a cot. The Estate House Cottage on the estate is offered as well.
Catering
All catering at the hall is provided by AR and Co Catering, the sole caterer, who plans menus with each client. For corporate hire, catering is charged on top of the venue fee, apart from the light lunch included in the day delegate package.
History and setting
The hall has been owned by the same family line for 19 generations and is now home to the Brackenbury family. Its story connects with Bess of Hardwick and with the Countess Manvers. The Courtyard Garden is Grade II listed, and heritage grants are funding repairs to its wall and to a garden wall dated 1628. The house and gardens are due to reopen to public visitors in January 2027.
Getting there
The hall lies east of Nottingham, a few minutes by road from Trent Bridge. Nottingham station is the nearest main-line station, and East Midlands Airport is the closest airport. Free parking is available on site.
