Hopton Court Estate spans 1,000 acres of Shropshire countryside, offering exclusive use for weddings and events. The Georgian country house, Victorian Orangery, Coach House, and surrounding grounds provide an intimate setting for celebrations with family and friends. Designed in 1776 by John Nash in the Palladian style, the estate has been home to the Woodward family since 1863. Today, three generations of the family work alongside the estate team to preserve its heritage and natural beauty.
Couples can choose between two distinct ceremony spaces:
After the ceremony, guests are welcomed onto the Lawns with drinks and canapés, enjoying views of the House, Orangery, and Lake. Garden games, like croquet, are a popular choice here.
The Coach House hosts the wedding breakfast and evening party. It seats up to 60 guests indoors, with round or banquet-style tables. Larger guest lists require a marquee in the Secondary Courtyard, which can be seamlessly connected to the bar and Coach House. The marquee offers additional space and views of the Orangery and Lawns.
The Coach House can accommodate up to 120 standing guests for evening celebrations. A room flip may be required after the meal, or, for marquee receptions, the band or DJ can set up during the meal without disruption. The Courtyard outside creates a cosy, enclosed atmosphere perfect for food trucks, outdoor seating, and enjoying music under the stars.
Couples can select from a list of preferred caterers for the wedding breakfast. Alternative day caterers may be approved upon request. Evening catering is flexible, with options ranging from food trucks to casual dining.
Hopton Court remains a working estate committed to environmental stewardship. The estate’s farmland extends to Clee Hill, with sustainable practices implemented in partnership with tenant farmers under the Sustainable Farming Incentive.
Hopton Wafers, just a 10-minute walk away, offers a pub with 18 bedrooms. Cleobury Mortimer and historic Ludlow are nearby, with Ludlow providing a wealth of shops, restaurants, and accommodations.
Hopton Court Estate is so excited to open its doors and welcome you onto the Estate. This Open Day is your opportunity to explore the venue and see...
The Coach House is our main indoor dining space, which can seat 60 people for dining and 120 standing. For guest lists exceeding 60, a marquee for dining can be erected in the Secondary Courtyard.
As standard, the hire period for weddings is across three days. This means your hire starts the day before your wedding and finishes the day after. The price you see is the total hire price, not a per-day price.
Yes! You can choose from either outside the Orangery or Scouts Wood.
Many weddings choose to glamp or camp in the Walled Garden. The Shepherd's Hut (sleeps two) is available to hire, and the top floor of the House is currently being renovated into a three-bedroom self-catering apartment that sleeps six guests. The House accommodation should be ready in early Summer 2025.
The in-house bar is fully stocked and can provide everything from welcome drinks to evening bar. However, you can still provide your welcome drink, toast drink and table wine if you want. You can either serve these drinks yourself or pay a service fee (£5 per bottle) to the bar, and they will provide glassware and serve your wine.
Yes! Hopton Court has no in-house catering, so you are free to choose your own caterers for your wedding. We have a preferred caterer list, but you are welcome to source off-list. Our catering kitchen is available to your caterers, and the Courtyard outside the Coach House is perfect for food trucks.
Music should stop by 11:30pm, and all guests should have left the venue by midnight.
No, the hire price is for the venue only. If you require a marquee, then this will be an additional cost. We have some marquee and venue hire packages that we can recommend.
