New Hall Hotel & Spa weddings at England’s oldest moated house

A fine example of late medieval architecture, New Hall Hotel & Spa in Sutton Coldfield exudes magic and majesty. Originally built as a manor house and hunting lodge by the Earl of Warwick in the 13th century, it proudly stands as England’s oldest listed inhabited moated house. 

The venue offers 60 elegant bedrooms, including nine luxurious feature rooms, with preferential wedding accommodation rates available for guests, all including a traditional full breakfast. For those seeking the ultimate in privacy and flexibility, the property can be reserved for exclusive use, allowing couples to celebrate surrounded by loved ones. 

Striking, elegant and full of character, each setting provides an idyllic backdrop for ceremonies and celebrations. The Great Chamber captivates with exquisite craftsmanship, oak-panelled walls, an intricately painted ceiling and leaded windows that reflect the venue’s rich period history. For smaller gatherings, the Great Chamber can be transformed from a ceremony space for up to 75 guests into a wedding breakfast room for 50. Beyond the interiors, the picturesque grounds offer breathtaking settings for drinks, entertainment or outdoor ceremonies, with 26 acres of pastures and gardens featuring manicured lawns, a suntrap terrace, vibrant blooms and a charming drawbridge crossing a lily-filled moat. 

The kitchen team is dedicated to seasonal, locally sourced cuisine, with bespoke cocktails or themed bars and evening celebrations enhanced by sharing platters or interactive food stations. 

Whether arriving the night before or on the wedding day itself, New Hall Hotel & Spa offers unforgettable experiences, with opportunities to enjoy afternoon tea, relax by the pool or host a welcome dinner in the days leading up to the celebration.
