Another fantastic corporate day at Holme Pierrepont Hall, the grounds are huge and always kept in great condition. Wonderful gardens. Perfect for large groups, and covid-safe as there is so much outdoor space. 11/10!

What a little gem, not one of the biggest places to visit, but sitting in the courtyard garden was peaceful and transported you to another time, well worth a visit.

I visited Holme PierrePont Hall in preparation for photographing a wedding later this month. Both the house and grounds are stunningly beautiful with many photographic opportunities to tell a wedding story.

Only open for general purposes on WEDNESDAYS (Also no walking routes in the grounds open apart from Wednesdays). There is a sign on the gate but it didnt mention the same on google maps at the time. Its best to check directly for other opening times for events. The posh lady was polite when informing me of this. It might be better to have an official opening times board on the main entrance from the road so we dont have to go right up to the house to check.
