Stubton Hall

A long driveway, sweeping lawns and a handsome Georgian façade set the tone at Stubton Hall. Surrounded by 23 acres of gardens and parkland, this exclusive-use country house offers privacy, space and a sense of occasion from the moment guests arrive.

The house sits within the village of Stubton, with open countryside stretching beyond its grounds. Formal gardens, mature trees and wide views create opportunities to gather outdoors throughout the day, whether for drinks on the terrace, photographs among the gardens or quiet moments away from the celebrations.

While the setting feels wonderfully rural, Stubton Hall combines the character of a historic country estate with a welcoming atmosphere that encourages guests to settle in and make themselves at home.

Inside the house, a collection of elegant Georgian rooms provides a timeless backdrop for smaller ceremonies. Filled with natural light and original architectural details, they offer an intimate setting that feels both refined and relaxed.

For larger celebrations, the Orangery brings guests together in a bright, airy space overlooking the gardens. Framed by large windows, it remains connected to the grounds throughout the seasons.

During the warmer months, ceremonies can also take place outdoors among the gardens and parkland. With open skies above and greenery in every direction, it offers a memorable setting for exchanging vows before continuing the celebrations across the estate.

One of the pleasures of a wedding at Stubton Hall is how naturally the day flows from one space to the next. With exclusive use of the house and grounds, guests are free to enjoy the estate at their own pace, moving between elegant reception rooms, the terrace and the gardens throughout the celebrations.

The Orangery hosts wedding breakfasts for up to 200 guests. Flooded with natural light and overlooking the grounds, its neutral backdrop allows couples to make the space entirely their own, whether styled with abundant florals, long banquet tables or a more understated approach.

As the day moves into evening, drinks spill onto the terrace and conversations continue beneath the trees before guests return indoors for dancing and entertainment. The Orangery transforms effortlessly for the evening reception, creating a lively atmosphere that carries celebrations long into the night.

Stubton Hall offers 25 bedrooms accommodating up to 60 guests, allowing family and friends to stay together under one roof.

The Honeymoon Suite provides a spacious retreat for newlyweds, while each guest bedroom has its own character, combining period features with contemporary comfort. Located throughout the house and around the Orangery, the rooms reflect the estate’s elegance while remaining comfortable and welcoming.

Having accommodation on-site means there is no need to rush away at the end of the evening. Instead, guests can settle in, enjoy breakfast together the following morning and make the most of their time at the house.

Additional accommodation is available in nearby villages and market towns for larger celebrations.

Working with the in-house catering team, couples can tailor menus to suit the style and atmosphere of their celebration, from relaxed drinks receptions to formal wedding breakfasts.

Canapés served on the terrace make the most of the gardens during warmer months, while the Orangery provides an elegant setting for dining. Seasonal menus are designed around quality ingredients, with vegetarian, vegan and dietary requirements catered for throughout.

As evening approaches, food remains part of the occasion. Couples can choose from a variety of evening catering options, or introduce carefully selected food trucks serving everything from wood-fired pizza to late-night favourites.

Alongside the dining experience, a considered drinks offering includes reception drinks, wines and toast drinks, ensuring every part of the celebration feels well looked after from arrival to last orders.

As custodians of a historic country estate, the team at Stubton Hall takes a considered approach to protecting the environment around them.

Across the venue, efforts are made to reduce waste, encourage recycling and source responsibly wherever possible. The catering team prioritises quality ingredients, while many recommended suppliers are sourced locally, helping support regional businesses and reduce travel where practical.

The grounds provide a home for a wide variety of wildlife, including deer, hares, geese and numerous bird species. Stubton Hall has also supported local conservation initiatives by providing a safe habitat for rescued hedgehogs released from a nearby wildlife sanctuary.

Inside the house, refillable toiletries help reduce single-use plastics, while ongoing improvements continue to identify more sustainable alternatives across the estate.
