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.

The YouGov Big Survey on Weddings

The YouGov Big Survey on Weddings

The journey that begins with "will you marry me" and ends with "I do" transforms a couple's lives in multiple ways, but it also involves a huge number of decisions, as planning a wedding is no mean feat. Every guest will have an opinion on what a wedding should be like: from what's classy and tacky, to which traditions should be followed and which can be discarded. To help prospective couples get a grip on what these potential guests hope to see in a wedding, YouGov's new Big Survey on Weddings examines all these key debates about what should and shouldn't feature on the big day, including looking at the decisions that brides and grooms would make themselves. The study is part a Big Surveys project: a series of in-depth surveys on British society. It was conducted between 7-9 August 2026, with a sample of 1,784 adults in the UK aged 18 and above.

Brits are swapping the 'big day' for the 'right day' as searches for intimate wedding venues soar

Couples are increasingly choosing quality time over large guest lists, with new search data revealing a growing demand for intimate weddings and stylish registry office ceremonies.

For many, the legal ceremony is no longer just the paperwork before the "real" wedding.

Expert at Cake Box, shares 2026 wedding trends

Weddings may be rooted in tradition, but 2026 is seeing couples put their own spin on the big day. From reimagined wedding cakes to more personal, less conventional celebrations, today's couples are increasingly choosing what feels meaningful to them rather than simply following the rules. To explore how wedding traditions are evolving, Okay Rahman, Head of Product and in-house cake expert at Cake Box, shares their insight into the biggest wedding trends of 2026 — and how couples are putting a fresh, modern twist on some of the most-loved elements of the day. He said... "We're seeing that wedding cakes are becoming much more personal in 2026. The traditional tiered cake certainly hasn't disappeared, but couples are feeling less tied to the idea that a wedding cake has to look or taste a certain way. These days, it's being treated as another part of the styling of the day, so the design reflects the couple, the venue and the overall feel of the wedding.
