Gardens
The stunning gardens of Prestwold Hall are just as breathtaking as the interior, extending out from the main house into beautiful countryside.
The perfect backdrop for your special day
Where Elegance Meets Nature
Following architect William Burn’s remodelling of the Hall in 1842, he turned his hand to the gardens, adding the porte cochère and entrance to the west, and creating the beautifully planted beds and symmetrical design of the garden as we know it today.
Before this, the house was set on an informal lawn with shrubberies and trees to the north, east and west, with the main entrance of the Hall to the south.
Set in the heart of Leicestershire
The Park
Set in 2,500 acres of land in the heart of the Leicestershire Wolds, Prestwold Hall offers spectacular views of gently rising parkland to the south.
Having rebuilt the Hall in the 1760s, Charles James Packe also created the parkland around it. This description, written by English printer and author John Nichols, paints a beautiful image of the area surrounding Prestwold Hall:
“The house, in every point of view shews itself delightfully shaded with wood, being ornamented with large plantations of forest-trees; Mr Packe having, perhaps, planted and raised within the last thirty years, more trees than any gentleman in this county.”
A beautiful outdoor celebration
Celebrations in the Gardens
Prestwold Hall’s magnificent gardens can be hired for any special event, so you can celebrate in beautiful and unique surroundings.
Whatever the occasion, you can enjoy long summer evenings in the garden with friends, family or colleagues and let our Events Team take care of your every need.

Couples can also hold celebrant-led blessings and vow renewals anywhere within the gardens, so you can make the most of this exquisite setting and create the wedding of your dreams.
A working farm covering 1,000 hectacres
Prestwold Farm
Surrounding the gardens and parkland is a working farm, covering 1,000 hectares of land.
The Packe-Drury-Lowe family are responsible for the management of Prestwold Farm, where the main crops are wheat, oil seed rape, barley and peas. Sheep and cattle can also be found grazing in the parkland.
Through sustainable agricultural practices, they aim to protect the local flora and fauna to ensure that it can be enjoyed by future generations for many years to come.
"Guests commented on both and venue on the staff being amazing, the day was so special for both of us and we wouldn’t change it for the world. "
