The Woodlands at Hothorpe Hall
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.
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.
Corporate responsibility isn’t an afterthought at The Woodlands—it’s fundamental to who we are. From energy-efficient building systems and rewilding initiatives to locally-sourced catering, we demonstrate that exceptional business hospitality and environmental stewardship go hand in hand.
Located in Theddingworth, Leicestershire, The Woodlands combines countryside tranquillity with remarkable connectivity. Minutes from the M1, we’re easily accessible from major business hubs across the Midlands and beyond, making us ideal for regional and national gatherings.
