The Long Bar has a wide selection of wines, whiskeys, cocktails and soft drinks and offers a cosy atmosphere at the end of the day.

FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
Every wedding is completely unique because many couples use Holdsworth House as their blank canvas. Outdoor weddings in the courtyard are especially pretty. Exclusive Use wedding are also fantastic because the couple and their families get to roam the grounds, rooms and gardens at will! But we also have lots of stunning, intimate weddings in the historic, stone Gazebo with just a few friends - it's utterly romantic.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
