Why Hotham Hall

A marquee setting like no other in Yorkshire

The formal gardens at Hotham Hall provide a natural canvas for marquee weddings of real distinction. Set against the south-facing facade of the Georgian Hall, the gardens make a beautiful backdrop for the day.

For couples seeking a larger celebration, our seven-acre event field extends the possibilities further still, with room for marquees seating 300 guests or more. Our team works alongside trusted marquee specialists to design a marquee that suits your plans, from the first stake in the ground to the last dance.

The formal gardens marquee lawn seats up to 200 guests, with easy access to the Hall's interiors for arrival drinks and the wedding breakfast, while the seven-acre event field offers views across the estate's parkland and pond for larger celebrations. From a classic sperry tent to a contemporary glasshouse marquee, every element, from lighting and flooring to drapery and floral design, is planned with you. When the celebrations continue into the evening, The Carriage House offers 12 en-suite rooms, including the Bridal Suite and a two-bedroom suite sleeping four, and the Hall's five bedrooms accommodate a further 10 guests close at hand.
