The Pumping House

Set in three acres of ancient woodlands, The Pumping House has exceptional opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. From drinks on the lawn supplied by a rustic outdoor bar to scavenger hunts in the forest, the beautiful surroundings of the Sherwood Forest make for unforgettable days and nights.

Following the ceremony, guests can relax with drinks and canapés in the spacious Conservatory Room. Just beyond the doors, they’ll be greeted by the stunning mezzanine, offering a panoramic view of the Engine Hall below, beautifully prepared and awaiting the wedding breakfast.

The Ollerton Room has beautifully unique parquet flooring and is filled with natural light from the original paned windows, creating the perfect setting for wedding ceremonies against a backdrop of forestry and wildlife. The Ollerton Room is the main room licensed for civil ceremonies with seating for up to 110 guests.

The double-height Engine Hall is the largest space in The Pumping House, and an impressive setting for your wedding breakfast and all types of celebrations. Filled with natural light in the day, at night it transforms into the lively centre of the house.

This stylish space is complete with a vintage dressing table, chair, sofa and full-length mirror. Conveniently situated next door to The Ollerton Room, this room is perfectly located and with space for the wedding party to prepare for their grand entrance.

Perfect for younger guests, the cinema and games room are complete with a 60-inch plasma screen and a variety of children’s DVDs and games, an air hockey table and table football.

The Conservatory Bar is The Pumping House's second, more intimate bar, situated just off Engine Room mezzanine able to accommodate up to 80 guests. With beautiful views of Sherwood Forest, it is the perfect place to enjoy a quiet drink, dream up new ideas and gather your best people.
