The Woodlands at Hothorpe Hall

Imagine a corporate venue that transforms the way your team thinks, collaborates, and connects. The Woodlands offers a rare combination of sophisticated business facilities and inspiring natural surroundings, set within 200 acres of rolling Leicestershire countryside, yet just minutes from the M1. This purpose-built venue challenges the convention that business gatherings must be confined to sterile meeting rooms. Here, floor-to-ceiling windows frame woodland vistas, outdoor spaces invite fresh perspectives, and every detail has been designed to elevate the corporate experience beyond the expected.

Versatile Spaces for Every Business Objective
The Sapwood forms the venue’s impressive centrepiece, accommodating up to 150 delegates theatre-style or 120 for dining. Flooded with natural light and equipped with integrated AV technology, this space adapts seamlessly from boardroom presentations to gala dinners. The adjacent Tap Room provides a stylish networking hub, while The Heartwood offers intimate breakout space where strategy sessions benefit from inspiring woodland views. For businesses seeking truly memorable settings, our outdoor venues deliver exceptional impact. The Hideaway’s secluded oak Arbor transforms brainstorming sessions into immersive experiences, whilst our atmospheric Tipi creates the perfect environment for team building or evening celebrations around a warming fire pit. The Courtyard Kitchen & Bar extends your event outdoors, with theatrical cooking stations encouraging relaxed networking in tranquil surroundings.

Residential Excellence
The Woodlands offers exclusive-use residential capability with 23 contemporary bedrooms. Our Studios and Lodges nestle among the trees, creating a peaceful forest village where delegates can truly switch off. For something extraordinary, the elevated Treehouse Suite provides a luxurious retreat with panoramic woodland views—perfect for senior leadership or VIP guests.
