Wentworth Woodhouse, a stately home at Wentworth near Rotherham in South Yorkshire, hires out its State Rooms for business meetings, corporate dinners and team days, with bespoke packages, and its newly renovated Panelled Room for private events. The house is run as a restoration project open to visitors, and VIP days let groups hear from the people leading the work. Weddings are not currently offered.
Seminars and company events
The corporate hire page offers the State Rooms for business meetings, corporate dinners and team days, with packages tailored to the client. A VIP Day adds a talk from the team that leads the restoration project, which suits a company that wants to give a group a behind-the-scenes experience. The pages read give no meeting capacities, room names beyond the State Rooms or equipment, so send the headcount and format when you enquire through the Contact page, and ask which State Rooms are free on your date, as the house is also open to visitors.
Weddings and receptions
The hire page states that wedding packages are not currently offered, so this venue is not presented for weddings. Private events can take place in the Panelled Room, which has been newly renovated, and the venue also lists film and television hire, for period settings such as a Georgian manor or a Victorian street.
Rooms and capacities
The named spaces are the State Rooms and the Panelled Room. The house also has a Long Gallery, where afternoon tea is served from Friday to Sunday, and a Camellia House, which offers a festive menu in December. No capacity is stated for any space.
Catering
The pages read do not describe catering for hire. A corporate dinner is listed as a format, so ask the team whether an in-house service or an outside caterer is used.
Accommodation
The pages read do not mention accommodation. The house is open to the public on certain days, with opening times listed on the site.
History and setting
Wentworth Woodhouse is an historic house that is being conserved, and the site has an Our Story page, a community program and a support page. Visits, events and hire all help to fund the work, so a corporate booking also supports the conservation of the house.
