Attended a Winter wedding at this beautiful venue. The building is most interesting with one Tudor style facade onto a cobbled courtyard and a grand Georgian facade surrounded by both formal and informal gardens so plenty of lovely backdrops for photos. The Great Hall with roaring fire, historic organ, beams and heraldry made for a stunning location for the wedding ceremony and for photos afterwards. The adjacent barn was also a beautiful venue for the reception with atmospheric decor and good food. Staff throughout were very professional and everyone had a most enjoyable and memorable day

3rd time visiting Blaze farm over the years and I love going here. Visited with an 11 year old in the Easter holidays - we enjoyed seeing the lambing, holding lambs and petting the baby goat. The farmer was giving running commentary on delivering a lamb and answered our questions well. The lambing shed entrance price was excellent value. Walked along the nature trail and had fairly close up views of the sheep and lambs and geese. There is also a peacock wondering around too! Finished off with a tasty ice cream - great value trip out with lovely animal experiences for all ages! Fab views as well from the siteacross the countryside. If you can't park on the tarmac, keep driving on through the site for parking on rougher terrain further back from the main sheds.

This was my second visit to Capesthorne Hall. The first was for a wedding. On both occasions I was bowled over by the beauty of the house, its history and the extensive gardens. It's an absolutely magical venue and a lovely place to spend the day just walking around or on holiday in their accommodations. But, anyone lucky enough to celebrate a wedding or life event there should consider themselves to be extremely privileged indeed. Moreover, their friends & family are going to talk about THE WEDDING or THE PARTY for years to come - as I am. From my own personal observations, I can tell you that Capesthorne's staff know how to put on a fantastic show. The staff are more than capable of meeting the needs of any bride, groom, birthday boy or birthday girl. Both times, I enjoyed wonderful food, wine, music and a light show in a spectacular setting. I also stayed over night in their new Pods near the walled garden. In my opinion, these pods are of comparable standard to any 5 star hotel, as are (I am told) the cottages - and staying in them is such fun too. I've visited A LOT of country houses over the years, and I've never written a review about one before. None have ever particularly impressed me. But, Capesthorne Hall is an exception. It's a wonderful place & I hope to return again one day soon.

Only just reopened after lockdown with all the precautions applied. It must be booked online in advance. Loads of info boards, clear and understandable without being dumbed down. Children’s playground plus some interactive techie stuff mostly outside. The Lovell telescope is amazing, it’s recently become a World Heritage site so I would highly recommend attending one of the educational talks about it’s history with very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Plenty of free parking, small café and shop. Did I mention the Lovell telescope is amazing
