Venue Hire

Your event, surrounded by nature

Not your normal venue

Pensthorpe is the perfect location for meetings, retreats, conferences and your next special occasion. From our flexible meeting spaces to our elegant Garden Room, you’re sure to find an option to meet your needs.

Rooms with a view

 

Five Cottages is a Grade II listed building overlooking our picturesque lakes. Lovingly restored after being derelict for many years, it was once home to Pensthorpe Estate’s farm workers. Now, as well as event spaces, it also includes state-of-the-art therapy facilities and our own offices.

Pensthorpe is an approved venue for marriage and civil partnership ceremonies, and all our spaces are easily accessible from the car park.
