Your Midlands Wedding - August/September 2024 (Issue 93)

LAMPORT HALL 01604 686 272 | www.lamporthall.co.uk Lamport Hall offers an elegant backdrop to events in the heart of the Northamptonshire countryside, close to the Leicestershire border, with excellent travel networks via the A14 and M1. The country house makes for spectacular arrivals with a classical frontage and Victorian additions, including a main entrance flanked by columns. The property offers stunning views from the elevated spot across the valley in an unspoilt corner of the county. The Hall is set in approximately 10 acres of tranquil gardens, resulting in more than 450 years of love and dedication, enclosed by a spacious park. Although the size and location are the same as when first laid out, the design has been strongly influenced by the interests and tastes of successive owners. Inside this English country house is a beautiful collection of furniture, paintings and ceramics to create a decadent wedding backdrop. There are two licensed rooms in the Hall. The High Room, with its dramatic setting, is perfect for intimate gatherings of up to 45 guests. The Oak Room, on the other hand, allows couples to make a grand entrance by descending from the staircase and can accommodate up to 70 guests. For larger weddings, the Carriage House can host up to 150 guests. For those who prefer the romance of an outdoor ceremony, the Walled Garden is also licensed for the vows. The team is dedicated to making dream weddings a reality. They offer a range of packages to suit all types of weddings, from intimate elopements and micro weddings to grand celebrations. With options to fit all preferences, budgets, and themes, there’s something for everyone at Lamport Hall. THE KEDLESTON COUNTRY HOUSE 01332 982 838 | www.kedlestoncountryhouse.co.uk The Kedleston Country House is an award-winning, family-run business on the edge of the historic Kedleston Hall estate.
