The Pavilion is exclusively yours

For the whole of your day The Pavilion belongs to you alone — the building, the grounds and the team. No second wedding in the next room, nobody else sharing the bar.

The Great Central Railway runs along the edge of the grounds, so every so often a steam engine goes past your drinks reception. We have been doing this for more than twenty years, and the food is cooked here and sourced from Leicestershire suppliers.

Fall in love with our ceremony spaces

The Glade House is a green oak-framed room, licensed for 60 seated guests.

The aisle runs towards the gardens, so the light falls in behind you and the photographs down the aisle have the grounds in them. The timber and the plain walls take whatever colour you bring.

Civil ceremonies are booked separately with the County Register Office on 0116 305 6565.

The Glade House set for a ceremony — an oak-framed room with exposed trusses and glazing down both sides, rows of wooden cross-back chairs dressed in sage chiffon, and a circular arch of white flowers and eucalyptus behind the registrar's table

Drinks, nibbles & photographs

Ceremony over, everyone spills out onto the patio with a glass in hand while we gather people up for the group shots.

The grounds are private and they are yours for the day: a large patio area, a petanque court, a croquet lawn.

Canapés come out from the kitchen and the bar is open.

Stand out wedding breakfasts

The Pavilion seats 100 for the wedding breakfast, on round tables in white linen under canopies of fairy lights.

You come in for a tasting beforehand and choose a dish per course. What you eat at the tasting is what your guests are served.

A wooden sharing tray of barbecued short rib, ribs, chicken and salmon and prawn skewers, surrounded by bowls of new potatoes, red cabbage slaw, salad and spiced wings on a white linen table in the sun
A beef wellington in lattice-scored golden puff pastry, with roasted carrots, new potatoes, a dark red wine sauce and a tangle of pea shoots, on white china with a gold-beaded charger
Canapés laid out on a dark wooden board — blinis with smoked salmon mousse and diced cucumber, tartlets filled with chutney, and seeded toasts topped with red pepper, each finished with pea shoots and edible violas
A square of sticky toffee pudding in a shallow white bowl, glossy with toffee sauce and topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, on white linen in bright sunlight

A party to remember

As the night goes on, a further 50 guests join you and the Pavilion changes character entirely.

There is plenty of room for a DJ or a live band, with space to dance in front of them rather than around the edges. The bar stays open and the kitchen sends out something to soak it up.

12 bedrooms, a few steps away

The bedrooms are in the manor house itself, so the wedding party can get ready here in the morning and nobody is booking a taxi at midnight.

Breakfast the next day is in the restaurant with whoever stayed, which is very often the best hour of the whole weekend.

A bedroom set under the eaves with exposed dark timber trusses and an ornate gilt bed frame, flanked by two lamps
A bright bedroom with a cane headboard, botanical cushions and a coral throw across a white bed, with pendant lights and an ensuite beyond
A bedroom with a charcoal feature wall, a whitewashed timber bed, teal and patterned cushions and a chandelier under a sloping ceiling
A spacious bedroom with two buttoned armchairs and a small table at the foot of the bed, pink cushions, a tall mirror and an ensuite through the doorway
