Description
Description
Situated in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside and on the edge of a wonderful historic village, Hooton Pagnell Hall is a magnificent country house set within 5 acres of truly idyllic gardens.
With original features and antique furnishings, there’s something special to be seen in each corner of the venue. Having been in the same family for over 300 years, there are only under 30 bespoke weddings planned to take place at the Hall in any year. Hooton Pagnell Hall is only available for exclusive hire, and with no more than one wedding a week, it’s your very own home for the day.
With the choice to hold your ceremony at the local village church, All Saints Hooton Pagnell or a Civil Ceremony ceremony either inside the Hall, in the Medieval, yet elegant Tithe Barn or in the Summer House; the options are vast.
An outdoor ceremony can also take place in the Summer Garden with the backdrop of the Pavilion and seasonal flowers.
After your wedding ceremony, your guests are invited to wander through the beautiful gardens and relax on the terrace, whilst you make the most of the fantastic photographic opportunities afforded by our stunning grounds and historic architecture. Should the English weather disappoint, then the Tithe Barn, the Main Hall and the Summer House all provide a wonderful backdrop for your photographs and sublime spaces for your drinks reception.
Accommodation is available at Stable Arches Boutique Accommodation, which presently has nine luxurious en-suite bedrooms. This is nestled within the Edwardian wing of Hooton Pagnell Hall.
Located on a Private Estate in a picture-perfect village of stone cottages, Hooton Pagnell Hall is 8 miles from Doncaster, 30 miles from Leeds, 22 miles from Sheffield, and classic York is only a short journey away. Doncaster train station is also just a 20-minute drive away, meaning great links to London, amongst other cities.

- SSusie Bracewell24/08/2025Inadequately maintained statuesInadequately maintained statuesI got married at HPH in May 2024. The venue is beautiful, had everything we were looking for and even allowed our dog to be there. In the run up to our wedding the co-ordinator gained our trust and belief that she had our best interests at heart. She was thorough and friendly throughout, and therefore as a whole, the venue was not on my radar for any potential issues. However, on the morning of my wedding a catastrophe occurred. In an area where the groom was to be greeting guests in a matter of hours, a statue fell on my 6 yr old nephew, breaking his leg in 2 places. There was no signage warning of the dangers in the area, no ropes restricting the structures, no CCTV and for a venue that allows guests of any age or size (and dogs too) this was an accident waiting to happen. Had a drunk guest bumped the statue, had a dog toileted in that area or jumped at it, had an elderly guest leant on it to have a picture taken...the statue would've fallen. This is due to the negligent upkeep from HPH by not effectively repairing evidently worn and weak areas. I really fear that in any of those scenarios they would've been met with more respect and empathy than my nephew got from the establishment overall. As we were getting in the car to catch a flight the groom was independently pulled aside and told that we'd have to pay for it (coincidentally our full deposit - but no stonemason receipts were provided nor offered). Sparking the question of why he was singled out instead of us being told collectively and when not under time constraints. A member of the kitchen staff was inexplicably cruel and belligerent to the mother over breakfast also, the same person who repeatedly shouted how it was a '150 yr old statue' while my nephew was screaming in pain. For a venue that runs 2 weddings a week for thousands of pounds a time and one that is owned by a family with children, we'd have thought a little ownership and empathy would've been shown by all. Instead, they were difficult to contact afterwards, their replies few and far between and their emails dismissive. It was and is to this day, an appalling response on their part, one that completely tarnished our day. Over a year on, I still look back on my wedding day with so much hurt, completely worsened by HPH's dealing with it. Therefore, a 1 star awarded as our experience shows that despite the positives and beauty of the venue, it features inadequately maintained structures and some shaming, belligerent staff. This venue's unfortunate yet evident monetary greed outweighs the care for their guests and specifically, young children. All things I never knew I even needed to consider when booking a wedding venue. Should you decide to book with them, please stay well clear of all the statues.I got married at HPH in May 2024.
