HOTHAM HALL TO OPEN TO PUBLIC FOR FIRST TIME IN 300 YEARS AFTER TRANSFORMATION
Hotham Hall has opened its doors for the time in its 300-year history following a three-year restoration that will see the stately home host weddings and events.
The 117-acre estate has been restored over the last three years in a heritage-focused regeneration. The Georgian estate was built in 1720 by William Burton.
It was purchased in 2020by Hull businesswoman, Linda Kilburn and her husband, David Kilburn CBE founders of MKM Building Supplies, who set about bringing the home and gardens back to life together with their marketing and events director, Rachel Waugh.
Following a multi-million-pound restoration, Hotham Hall is now available for hire for weddings and corporate gatherings, parties, private dining and charity events.
The venue boasts a Georgian hall, vast grounds for marquees and outdoor dining and five suites. The next part of the development includes the creation of a spa, private members’ club, additional events space and further accommodation, set for completion in 2025/26.
Hotham Hall’s first wedding will take place in September and the venue is now taking bookings for 2025 and beyond.
Mrs Kilburn said: “The estate is a truly unique pocket of East Yorkshire and a venue like no other. Our journey began with the desire to share its charm and its history and to ensure a long-term future and lasting legacy, so it can be preserved and enjoyed for centuries to come.
“The restoration has been a true labour of love and we can’t wait to host guests from all over the world to share special celebrations and make memories here at Hotham Hall.”
