Our Story

An estate with a long history

Built in 1720, Hotham Hall has stood at the heart of the East Yorkshire countryside for more than three centuries. A careful restoration since 2020 has honoured its Georgian heritage and now extends to The Carriage House, the estate's newly restored stable block. Today it welcomes weddings, celebrations, corporate events, and seasonal experiences across over 120 acres of gardens, parkland, and woodland, all shaped by thoughtful service and timeless surroundings.

    As the mother of the bride, I cannot recommend Hotham Hall Estate highly enough. Everything about my daughter and her husband’s wedding was outstanding. The team doesn’t just host events; they truly excel in perfection making each wedding unique in their own special way, designed for you only.
