Muthu Clumber Park Hotel and Spa

Muthu Clumber Park Hotel and Spa sits on Blyth Road on the edge of Sherwood Forest, a few miles from Worksop in north Nottinghamshire. It is a hotel with function rooms, a spa and leisure club, and it hosts weddings for anything from two guests to around 200.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

Packages are put together around you, from a short ceremony with a couple of witnesses to a full day with a large crowd. Because everything happens in one building, with rooms upstairs and a planning team on hand before and during the day, you do not have to coordinate a string of separate suppliers. For guests travelling in, having a bed, breakfast and the spa on site makes the weekend easy.

Ceremonies

The hotel is licensed for civil ceremonies in three settings. The Normanton Suite holds up to 120 guests. The courtyard takes up to 50, and a pagoda in a woodland setting also takes up to 50, which gives you an outdoor option in a quieter, leafy spot.

Receptions and food

For smaller weddings, the banquet room can host an intimate reception for up to 70. Larger parties use the main function room. Catering can be as simple as canapés and a light buffet or as formal as a seated dinner, and the team helps shape the menu with you.

Staying

Wedding guests are offered discounted room rates with breakfast and parking included. Staying guests can also use the spa and leisure facilities, including an indoor heated pool, sauna, steam room and fitness room.

Getting there and the area

The hotel is close to Clumber Park, the National Trust estate known for its lake and long avenue of lime trees. Worksop station has trains to Sheffield, Lincoln and Nottingham, and the A1 and A57 are both nearby. Sherwood Forest and the Dukeries villages make good outings for guests staying the weekend.
