Late licensed until 1am, this beautiful red brick building, with its original and distinctive chimney, is located in the heart of Sherwood Forest.

The Vibe

Ceremony

Set over two impressive floors, ceremonies can be held in the Ollerton Room, which features unique parquet flooring and natural light from original paned windows, seating up to 100 guests for civil ceremonies. The Engine Hall is also licensed for civil ceremonies and accommodates 80 to 150 guests.

Reception

Guests can enjoy drinks and canapés following the ceremony in The Conservatory Bar or the beautifully landscaped garden.

The Engine Hall offers an impressive setting for the wedding breakfast. With unique tiling, stunning arch windows, and a high glass ceiling, it creates an illuminating space perfect for weddings with 50 to 170 guests. The room can accommodate various layouts and serves as a versatile canvas for different themes and settings. As dusk falls, guests can dance the night away, celebrating and bringing The Engine Hall to life.

Accommodation

The Pumping House also features luxury apartments nestled at the rear of the historic venue. These ten self-catering apartments provide perfect accommodation for the wedding party.
