In pictures: Splendid transformation of Hotham Hall, East Yorkshire's newest wedding and events venue

Hotham Hall has opened its doors as Yorkshire’s newest weddings and events venue following a three-year restoration.

The 117-acre estate, based in the East Yorkshire village of Hotham, has been lovingly restored to its former grandeur over the last three years in a heritage-focused regeneration. The elegant Georgian estate was built in 1720 by William Burton and became a symbol of luxury and splendour for many years.

A total of 300 years later, in 2020, it was purchased by Hull businesswoman, Linda Kilburn and her husband, David Kilburn CBE founders of MKM Building Supplies, who set about bringing the home and gardens back to life together with marketing and events director, Rachel Waugh. The grand estate is available for bespoke hire, for weddings, corporate gatherings, parties, private dining and charity events - visit www.hothamhallestate.com to book a viewing.

Here is a selection of images that show how the magnificent Hotham Hall looked in the past, and as it does today, following the heritage-focused regeneration of the estate.
