Thrumpton Hall, a 17th-century house in Nottinghamshire formerly home to the Byron family, takes private parties on a limited scale. The official site states a maximum of thirty guests for meals and a maximum of fifty for a two-hour use of three ground-floor rooms, with fees tailored to each event. Tours are available by appointment, and Christmas parties are offered. The hall no longer operates as a wedding venue.
Seminars and company events
The site says the hall is available for parties and tours by appointment and presents Christmas parties with log fires, food and entertainment. A newspaper quotation on the home page calls the hall one of the most sought-after venues for corporate events, weddings and parties, but the hall's own text now limits the offer to small parties, so a company event would be a dinner for up to 30 or a two-hour reception for up to 50. Ask the team what can be arranged for your format.
Weddings and receptions
Thrumpton Hall states that it no longer operates as a wedding venue. Older pages on the site still carry wedding wording, so check with the team before planning a celebration.
Rooms and capacities
The offer is built on three ground-floor rooms, which are used for a two-hour reception for up to 50 guests. Meals are limited to a maximum of 30 guests. The pages read do not name the rooms, but a virtual tour of the hall lets you choose rooms from a selector. Fees are tailored to events, so there is no fixed tariff.
Accommodation
The hall's pages mention accommodation in a wedding context only, so confirm whether guests can stay.
Catering
Meals are served in the hall for up to 30 guests, and the Christmas offer promotes fantastic food. The pages read do not name a caterer.
History and setting
The 17th-century hall is arranged around formal gardens with rare trees, including what the site calls England's oldest larch trees and the last of the Byron oaks, grown from the Newstead original. The house has a carved staircase and a priest hole, and a history tied to the Babington Plot and to Ada Lovelace. The gardens sit in 300 acres of wooded parkland beside a river and a lake.
Getting there
The hall is at Thrumpton, Nottinghamshire NG11 0AX, ten minutes by car from East Midlands Parkway station, East Midlands Airport and the M1, and within easy reach of Nottingham and Derby.
