Kenwood Hall's new lakeview outdoor dining spaces will be open for business, demonstrating the versatility of the venue after significant investment in this area. And to help guests visualise how their wedding, Christmas party or birthday event might take shape, a luxury Tipi by Katachiefs will be erected in the grounds, dressed especially for the occasion.

Overlooking the picturesque lake at Kenwood Hall will be a dedicated tranquil 'Wellness Area' where guests can relax on comfy beanbags and enjoy the view with some complimentary smoothies and healthy treats. Booking for the day is not required, simply turn up and enjoy what is on offer. If you're interested in a specific appointment with the hotel's wedding and event management team, then email Beverley Davidson on beverleydavidson@vinehotels.co.uk. Ample free parking is available within the grounds of Kenwood Hall Hotel and Spa and dogs are welcome.

Beverley Davidson, meetings and events manager at Kenwood Hall said: "If you're planning a wedding, Christmas event or a private party in the coming months, or you simply want to have a fun day out and get a flavour of what Kenwood Hall offers locally, this event is for you! It's much more than just a wedding fayre, although betrothed couples will find a fairy-tale wedding venue here. We want everyone in our community to see the wonderful facilities we have on offer at Kenwood Hall, from event spaces to restaurant, outdoor dining, and spa. We're extremely excited to welcome our event partner Katachiefs, who will be bringing along one of their luxury Tipis, which are in huge demand for weddings and parties. And we're hoping that the event will be a great day out for the entire family."

One of Sheffield's most charming wedding and party venues, Kenwood Hall is a luxurious four-star hotel, surrounded by vast landscaped gardens. Situated just one mile from the centre of Sheffield, it offers convenient transport links paired with all the tranquillity of a remote countryside getaway. A new seating area highlights the stunning gardens of the hotel, which is set within idyllic countryside, with 12 acres of beautiful parkland that provides the most spectacular backdrop for any event. It's also a brilliant place to explore for walks with the family and even four-legged friends, as the hotel is dog-friendly too.

A range of different sized function rooms are available for all types of celebration. The venue can accommodate up to 150 guests for wedding breakfasts, and up to 180 guests for a party or evening reception in its largest room, the Lakeview.
