About

The Riding Hall at Thoresby Park is the hidden gem of photogenic wedding venues conveniently located in North Nottinghamshire. The outstanding architecture and flexibility of the incredible space make for the most romantic wedding setting. Our small team of experts will ensure you have the perfect wedding for you.

Set in the heart of Sherwood Forest, surrounded by untouched natural beauty, Thoresby Park offers one of North Nottinghamshire’s most impressive wedding locations. Whether a civil ceremony, a church wedding or woodland blessing, we have everything you need for your special day.

Civil ceremonies and receptions take place in the dramatic setting of the Victorian Riding Hall. The gorgeous barn-style space has been beautifully restored, with soaring arched ceiling, rustic beams, red brick walls, fairy lights and superb wooden floor. The hall can accommodate 150 guests for dinner and up to 200 for your evening reception.

The new addition of the secret garden escape at the rear of The Riding Hall offers the perfect private garden for your drinks reception, with endless possibilities for outdoor entertainment. No matter the weather the open garden has a large canopy for shade from the sun.

Beyond the garden the estate and woodland give you endless photographic opportunities. Thoresby Park is also available for marquee weddings, woodland ceremonies or any ideas involving the great outdoors, giving you the opportunity to make the most of the picturesque surroundings.

Beyond the fabulous setting and fantastic facilities, the dedicated team of wedding coordinators are the real key to the venue’s success. They will be on hand to create a bespoke wedding that is unique to you, offering a flexible approach to all areas of your day. They will go the extra mile to ensure all your requirements are met, working with their extensive list of industry professionals, to help create your dream wedding in the flexible space.

Thoresby Park is protected by The Stonebridge Trust, a charitable trust working to preserve its listed buildings and park. By getting married there, you will not only be supporting their work but creating memories in a truly special place that you will be able to revisit for years to come.

Testimonials

"We can not recommend Thoresby Weddings enough! Our wedding day was completely perfect . Staff were incredibly helpful, nothing was too much and everything so seamless on the day! They communicated just the right amount and were able to answer all of our questions. The interior of the Riding Hall is stunning - perfect for a rustic wedding, with brickwork, huge wooden beams and beautiful big windows. The grounds topped everything off with endless places to go for photographs. It's now such a special place for us both."
