Set high above the Vale of Belvoir, Belvoir Castle is a landmark event venue in Central England, offering rare overnight stays within a working ducal residence. Surrounded by gardens, lakes, and woodland across a vast estate, the Castle combines historic grandeur with professional event delivery for senior leadership gatherings, conferences, and incentive retreats.
Belvoir Castle sleeps up to 28 guests across 14 historic bedrooms located within a private wing of the Castle. The accommodation includes ten double rooms, two twin rooms, one triple, and one single, with most bedrooms benefitting from en-suite or private bathrooms. Each room reflects the character of the Castle while providing comfort suited to residential corporate retreats and multi-day events.
For larger residential groups, additional accommodation is available across the Belvoir Estate in a range of houses and cottages. Options include Vale House, a nine-bedroom property sleeping up to 23 guests, and Belvoir Lodge, which offers nine bedrooms sleeping up to 18 guests. These nearby properties allow organisers to extend capacity while keeping guests close to the Castle for multi-day events and retreats.
The Castle’s State Rooms provide an exceptional collection of meeting, dining, and reception spaces. Highlights include the Ballroom, with its cathedral-inspired ceiling modelled on Lincoln Cathedral, the Regent’s Gallery spanning 131 feet and filled with historic artwork, and the Elizabeth Saloon with its refined Regency décor. The State Dining Room seats up to 120 for formal dinners, while a reception room and bar accommodate up to 150 guests. A dedicated boardroom for up to 20 and additional breakout rooms support focused business sessions.
The surrounding gardens offer a variety of outdoor settings for relaxation and structured activity. Formal gardens, lakeside walks, and woodland areas provide space for team-building, wellness sessions, and informal gatherings. The Rose Garden, home to over 800 roses, is particularly suited to summer receptions and garden parties, with marquee options available.
Dining at Belvoir Castle is overseen by an executive chef who creates bespoke menus using seasonal ingredients, many sourced from the estate. Private dining is hosted within the State Dining Room or Elizabeth Saloon, while more informal options are available through the Castle’s Bistro and Aviary Tearoom. Catering is fully flexible, supporting everything from working lunches to gala dinners.
As an exclusive-use corporate event venue, Belvoir Castle is well suited to board meetings, leadership retreats, conferences, product launches, and incentive programmes. State-of-the-art AV equipment is available, and a dedicated event coordinator works closely with organisers to deliver a seamless experience. Team-building activities include archery, clay pigeon shooting, treasure hunts, wine tasting, and guided estate experiences.
The wider Belvoir Estate supports additional experiences including vineyard tours and wine tastings, countryside walks, and visits to the Animal Park within the Retail Village. The area around Grantham also offers further outdoor pursuits and cultural attractions suitable for group itineraries.
