Eastwood Hall

Eastwood Hall is a large country house hotel at Eastwood, north-west of Nottingham, set in 26 acres of landscaped grounds. It has 150 bedrooms, five licensed ceremony suites and an outdoor ceremony area, and its event spaces can take anything from a small gathering to a party of several hundred.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

Scale and flexibility are the strengths here. With rooms licensed for 45 to 300 guests, you can match the space to your guest list rather than squeezing into a single fixed room. The venue has experience of weddings from many cultures, and the in-house team handles the catering and the running of the day, which keeps things straightforward for you.

Ceremonies

Five suites are licensed for ceremonies: the Lawrence Suite for up to 300 guests, the Chatterley Suite for up to 200, the Macgregor Suite for up to 80, the Holroyd Suite for up to 60 and the Scargill Suite for up to 45. There is also an outdoor ceremony area in the grounds for warmer months. Confetti is permitted.

Receptions and food

The event suites cater for anywhere from eight to around 400 guests, with up to 250 seated for the wedding breakfast. A dedicated wedding suite is available on an exclusive basis, with a dance floor and its own kitchen. All catering is in-house. Vegan and halal menus are offered, along with a hog roast, and the team has experience with Asian and Jewish weddings.

Staying

With 150 bedrooms, most of your guests can stay on site. The couple receive a complimentary room on the night, and there is a bridal suite.

Getting there and the area

The hotel is on Mansfield Road, Eastwood, NG16 3SS. It is close to junction 26 of the M1, with parking on site. The nearest railway station is Langley Mill, a short taxi ride away, and East Midlands Airport is the nearest airport. Eastwood is the birthplace of the writer D. H. Lawrence, and the countryside of the Erewash Valley lies on the doorstep.
