From this day forward
At Clumber Park Hotel & Spa we provide a bespoke experience that will
ensure every aspect of your very special day is organised to perfection. Our
dedicated Wedding Coordinator looks forward to guiding you through all
the stages of planning your very special day.
Perfectly placed in rural open countryside with our very own natural
woodland, ideally located opposite the beautiful grounds of Clumber Park
and close to the historic Sherwood Forest, we provide your perfect setting
for beautiful photographs and lovely memories.
We are delighted to be licensed to host both Civil Ceremonies and
Partnerships. You may, of course, prefer to marry in church and arrive at
Clumber Park Hotel & Spa for your reception.
Whether you are hosting a large wedding banquet or intimate celebration,
with our exclusive function rooms, we have something to offer for
everyone. The Courtyard is a more intimate setting, with private bar and
views onto the decking, garden and natural woodland. For your larger
celebration, our Normanton Suite is perfect, with private bar, views onto
the decking, dance floor and beautiful décor.
Relax at the end of your special day in the Bridal Suite or 4-Poster bedroom
and wake up refreshed to enjoy your full English breakfast. With 73 ensuite bedrooms, there is plenty of accommodation for all of your guests
and we have pleasure in offering special overnight rates.
Why not stay a little longer, relax and unwind in The New Leaf Spa.
Enjoy the indoor heated swimming pool with whirlpool, traditional
wooden sauna, eucalyptus steam room, fully equipped gym and outdoor
