Love in Full Bloom: The Highfield Unveils New Chapter of Luxury Weddings

As the leaves turn across the Wolds, award-winning luxury country house hotel, The Highfield, ushers in a new season of romance, refinement, and remarkable experiences. Long known for its artistry in hospitality, The Highfield is redefining what modern weddings in Yorkshire can be: deeply personal, beautifully intimate, and seamlessly executed - with a helping hand from an international interior designer at work, with co-owner Lindsey Lampard now personally leading an experienced events team. 

Marking a decade of exquisite celebrations and nearly a century of family tradition in hospitality - couples are invited to experience its magic first-hand at the Wedding Showcase on 18th January 2026 - an immersive open day featuring trusted suppliers, styled spaces, and personal consultations. A series of Open House Evenings throughout autumn and winter will also offer a relaxed way to explore the venue and discuss bespoke plans with the team.

Built in 1864 and reimagined in 2022, the historic country house sits within eight acres of gardens and woodlands, offering couples a rare blend of heritage, privacy, and understated luxury.

With its eco-led design, award-winning cuisine, and boutique exclusivity, The Highfield remains one of Yorkshire’s most sought-after destinations for intimate weddings and refined celebrations. Offering exclusive use of the house, gardens, and accommodation for over 24 guests – including the exclusive Quarters Penthouse -  it captures the timeless romance of the English countryside, with all the sophistication of modern luxury.

Today’s couples are embracing experiences that feel authentic, joyful, and deeply personal, perfectly aligned with The Highfield’s “Merchant Luxury” ethos. Lindsey explains, “We’re seeing a return to heartfelt, meaningful weddings, where every detail tells a story and guests truly connect.”

She continues, “We’ve focused on our strengths to reflect what couples are looking for: unique touches that make every celebration unforgettable. From weekend-long festivities with welcome suppers and post-wedding brunches, to full house-party experiences or elevated garden-party vibes with open-air banquets, string lights, and luxury tented spaces, we’re proud to say, ‘We do.’

And sustainability is standard, with seasonal menus, wild florals, and zero-waste planning.

“Smaller celebrations are not less curated” – concludes Lindsey - “Micro guestlists still enjoy macro detail, and couture styling and immersive experiences are absolutely an option for smaller weddings too.”

At The Mill & Vine restaurant, the latest addition to the hotel’s charms and the proud recipient of two AA Rosettes, guests can look forward to bespoke opportunities to make the day even more special. A 12-course tasting menu will also be launched on 15th November, paired with exclusive ‘Taster & Stay’ and ‘Taster, Stay & Relax’ packages, combining fine dining, luxury accommodation, and spa experiences.
