By Grace Kennington 25th Feb 2026
From a picturesque wedding venue or idyllic weekend retreat, Normanton Park Hotel has been offering rural relaxation, great food and a memorable stay since 1829.
The hotel, which is situated on the shores of Rutland Water, provides a stunning backdrop for guests to unwind all year round, with a cosy, roaring open-fire, conservatory restaurant and a formal yet relaxed dining room.
Known locally for the iconic images of Normanton church, the hotel and church work together to create a truly magical space for couples on their big day, with the opportunity for guests to celebrate, dine and sleep all within one place.
On Saturday 22 March, Normanton Park Hotel are welcoming couples to explore the venue, and to get a feel for how their special day could look.
The wedding fair is free to attend, with suppliers including bridal wear, photography, venue décor, cakes, entertainment, stationery and more, with lots of special offers.

This will give couples the opportunity to get a sense of the space, speak to local vendors and suppliers and ask questions to Normanton's dedicated team.
For those not planning a wedding, Normanton Park Hotel has a lot more to offer.
Due to the hotel's prime location on the edge of Rutland Water, it is an ideal spot for anyone wanting to get out on the water.

From sailing and windsurfing to fishing, paddleboarding and rock climbing, proximity to the reservoir provides easy access to the water and surrounding nature reserve, allowing guests to reconnect with nature and unwind from the business of daily life.
The park run every Saturday is very popular with hotel guests and locals from around the Rutland water area.
All that exploring and time outside is bound to make anyone hungry and Normanton Park pride themselves on their excellent food and drink.
The Conservatory and Water View Restaurant is a traditional restaurant set up in a vibrant space, and it uses a lot of local produce when serving breakfast lunch and dinner.

The Clock is a formal yet relaxed dining room, serving the same menus when the conservatory is not available due to private hire.
Finally, you can unwind in the cosy Hotel Bar and enjoy a hot or cold drink in front of the roaring open fire.
