About
Setting

The Wood Norton offers sweeping views over the River Avon and Vale of Evesham, framed by the Cotswolds to the south, Bredon Hill to the west, and the Malverns to the north. Originally built in 1897 for exiled European royalty, the main hall is a striking example of high Victorian opulence. Formal gardens, designed in the parterre style, provide a picturesque setting for outdoor ceremonies, drinks receptions, and wedding photography. Inside, the hall seamlessly blends its historic charm with contemporary furnishings, following a complete renovation in 2012. Wood paneling and intricate carvings feature in the ground floor spaces and state bedrooms.

Ceremony

Wedding ceremonies can take place in three licensed locations: the Outdoor Wedding Pavilion, the Garden Balustrade, or the Fleur de Lys Room, which offers views of the Worcestershire countryside. Whether planning an intimate gathering or a larger celebration, The Wood Norton provides a setting that suits any vision.

Reception

The Orangery, with its glass frontage and elevated position overlooking the gardens, provides a stunning space for wedding receptions. It can accommodate up to 120 guests for a seated meal and 150 for an evening celebration. Drink receptions can be hosted on the South Terrace or in the elegant wood-panelled lounges.

Accommodation

The Wood Norton offers 50 bedrooms, including 30 in the Pear Tree Mews and 20 in the Main Hall. These include Executive, Deluxe, Feature, and Grand Suite rooms. Up to 30 rooms are reservable at a special wedding rate. Upon request, exclusive use of the venue can be arranged.

Food & Drink

The award-winning Fleur de Lys Restaurant ensures a memorable dining experience. It offers a three-or four-course wedding breakfast, canapés, cheese boards, petit fours, and evening buffets. A complimentary menu tasting is included. The wedding package also includes a drinks reception, a three-course meal, half a bottle of wine per person, and a drink for toasting. The chef can create bespoke menus in consultation with the couple.

Local Area

Situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty, The Wood Norton is a gateway to historic towns, stunning countryside, and local attractions. The Cotswolds, Stratford-upon-Avon, Cheltenham, Bath, Worcester, and the Malvern Hills are all within easy reach. Visitors can explore gardens, vineyards, castles, and picturesque villages.

Getting There

Wood Norton is well-connected. It is two hours from Heathrow International Airport and 45 minutes from Birmingham International Airport. It has direct links to London Paddington via Evesham Train Station and is easily accessible from three major UK motorways. The famous Cotswold village of Broadway is just 10 minutes away.

“

Everyone at the Wood Norton from the start of our experience has been nothing but amazing. Considering our wedding was put together in a very short time frame it was fantastic. The food was complimented, the rooms, the wider hotel and the staff. Paige on the day was so calm and welcoming I cannot thank her enough. We had a truly wonderful day and I will be forever grateful to you and all of the staff.

S & S

We just wanted to say a massive thank you. Not only for Saturday but for all your help and organisation leading up to what was such a perfect day. The organisation, communication and support was fantastic.

I can’t thank you, Gerry, Abi and the rest of the staff enough. The day ran to perfection. Everything we had asked for had been done, the food was amazing, and Abi and Gerry were so supportive throughout.

The venue was beautiful, and all our guests commented on how it was the best venue for a wedding. The DJ the venue booked was superb and also a real highlight.

We appreciate all the hard work that everyone put into making the day just so special, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to any other couples considering booking you for their special day.
