About us
The Old Vicarage is an intimate, design-led country house in Southwell, Nottinghamshire, offering exclusive use for weddings and private celebrations. Privately owned and thoughtfully restored by a mother-and-daughter team, the house has evolved from a once-neglected care home into a warm, characterful space that feels both elevated and deeply personal.
Rather than operating as a traditional venue, The Old Vicarage is curated to feel like a lived-in home, layered with considered interiors, soft details, and a natural sense of ease. Each celebration is individually hosted, allowing the house to feel calm, unhurried and entirely your own for the day.
With eight beautifully designed bedrooms, light-filled reception spaces and a seamless flow between house and garden, the setting lends itself to weddings that feel relaxed yet refined. Food forms an integral part of the experience, delivered in partnership with a select catering partner who works closely with each couple to create a menu that feels thoughtful, personal and aligned with the overall vision for the day.
The Old Vicarage is known for its understated atmosphere, attention to detail, and the feeling that nothing is rushed - just quietly, carefully held.
