ARE YOU LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT VENUE TO HOLD YOUR LOVED ONES CELEBRATION OF LIFE?
Nestled among the picturesque Devonshire countryside sits our beautiful Manor Hotel and Golf Course. A country house rich with history, charm and beauty.
It offers a relaxed atmosphere and peaceful setting, making it an ideal funeral wake venue for you to celebrate your loved one’s life.
We’re able to accommodate small intimate gatherings all the way up to over 100 guests incorporating the use of the stunning terrace.
Built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel in 1847, the manor has kept almost all of its original features, although its recent refurbishment under new ownership has uncloaked its true potential as an elegant and stylish location for any type of venue hire and a relaxing and luxurious getaway.
Welbeck Manor also offers a 9-hole course, surrounded by beautiful countryside.
Our function rooms can be set up to your own needs and our team will be there for you every step of the way to ease the stress of organising your memorial.
