That mix of grand house and golf club gives it a particular feel. Formal rooms inside, open countryside all around.
The house and grounds
The hall stands in 160 acres of rolling countryside, according to the venue. The golf course and grounds make a big, green backdrop for photos. And inside, a Grade I listed building is going to give you plenty of character in the background of every shot.
The venue also does afternoon teas, so a cheeky way to have a look round before booking is to go for tea. You'll get a feel for the rooms, the staff and the views without the pressure of a formal showround. Then book the proper visit once you know you like it.
Planning with the team
Harrowden has been doing bespoke events for a long time, weddings among them, and it offers private tours and meetings with its wedding coordinator (call and ask for the weddings extension). It also runs wedding showcases, which are worth going to if you want to see the rooms dressed for a wedding.
As it's a working golf club, it's worth asking how the day is managed around members, and what the rooms hold. Bring a list of questions and your rough guest numbers. It makes the first meeting far more useful.
Entertainment ideas
A grand hall with golf-course views suits classic entertainment. A close-up magician during the drinks reception is a timeless choice. We're just up the road in Corby. In the evening, why not try a photo booth for a bit of daft fun to balance all the elegance?
If you've got golfers in the family, they'll probably try to sneak a round in. Let them.
