-WelcomeCatthorpe Manor is a beautiful country house estate set in 26 acres of grounds, where wedding receptions have been taking place since 1975, making it one of the longest established venues in the area. The attractive manor house dates from early last century and retains all of its original features, providing the most spectacular of photographic opportunities both internally and externally. The banqueting suite is situated in the oldest part of the estate, within the old stable buildings and has an abundance of distinctive period features including cast iron pillars and exposed stone arch doorways. With the stunning house and grounds, combined with spacious banqueting facilities and the stylish, welcoming bar, Catthorpe Manor can offer the versatility required for any size of wedding from small intimate numbers up to weddings of 250 people; or many more for a marquee reception in the grounds. With over 35 years experience of holding weddings at Catthorpe Manor, every bride and groom can be completely assured that their special day will be in the most capable of hands. A highly personal service, attention to detail and a very warm welcome is accorded to all visitors and the venue prides itself on offering a bespoke service so that every wedding is as unique as the couple themselves.

Catthorpe Manor | Distinctive -The Gardens & GroundsThe main house and the banqueting suite are situated within 26 acres of gorgeous gardens, parkland and woodland and the large fishing lake, mature trees and established gardens ensure the grounds look majestic in any season, providing the perfect backdrop for those all important wedding pictures. The walled garden is a delight of colours and wild flowers in the summer months, whilst the woodland comes into its own in spring, when the ground is carpeted in charming snowdrops and bluebells. The autumn and winter months are also popular for weddings when the gardens are ablaze with the colours of the turning season or frosted with a dusting of white and when warm candle light and a glass of mulled wine create a wonderfully atmospheric setting for a winter wedding.
-The LocationCatthorpe Manor is situated between the attractive villages of Catthorpe and Lilbourne in the very heart of the Midlands, on the Leicestershire, Warwickshire and Northamptonshire borders. The estate is located approximately 5 miles from the market town of Rugby and 6 miles from Lutterworth and is conveniently situated within 5 miles of the M1, M6, A5 and A14 making it an ideal venue for easy access from almost anywhere in the country.
