Magical Woodland Weddings at The Woodlands at Hothorpe – A Dream Venue in Leicestershire

If you’re dreaming of a romantic woodland wedding surrounded by nature, look no further than The Woodlands at Hothorpe. Nestled on the border of Leicestershire and Northamptonshire, this unique venue offers an enchanting setting for couples seeking something truly different for their big day. As a Leicestershire wedding photographer, I’ve had the joy of capturing love stories here—and every wedding feels like stepping into a fairytale. Every wedding I look for a new opportunity to get something unique at this venue – there is plenty – from sunsets in the cornfield, portraits under the fairylights or creative portraits under the pergola, there is something new to create and that makes this venue special.

A Hidden Gem for Leicestershire Weddings

Located within the wider Hothorpe Hall estate, The Woodlands is a purpose-built woodland venue, thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly into its natural surroundings. Couples can say “I do” beneath a stunning wooden pagoda under the canopy of trees, with birdsong and rustling leaves creating a peaceful soundtrack to the ceremony. It’s one of the most atmospheric woodland wedding venues in the Midlands—and a dream setting for Leicestershire wedding photography.

Why is The Woodlands at Hothorpe so special?

Im my opinion, here’s what makes this venue such a standout for Leicestershire weddings:

• Outdoor Ceremonies: Tie the knot surrounded by nature in the dedicated outdoor ceremony space. From getting ready at the bridal house, taking the walk along the woodland path to the ceremony area and then say “I do” under the tree canopy, it is the perfect environment for couples wanting to connect with nature.
• Stylish Indoor Spaces: In case of rain (this is the UK, after all!), The Woodlands also features a beautiful indoor ceremony room with floor-to-ceiling windows that bring the outside in.
• Treehouse Accommodation: For couples and guests staying overnight, there are luxury woodland lodges and even a treehouse suite for something truly memorable. The treehouse suite is used as the “honeymoon suite” for the couple to spend their first night as a married couple together.
• Exclusive Use: The entire venue is yours for the day, giving you complete privacy and freedom to personalise every detail.
