The Pumping House
INTRODUCTION
The Pumping House is a beautiful Grade II listed Nottinghamshire wedding venue, featuring a licensed ceremony room, main hall for wedding breakfasts, accommodation for the wedding party and guests and a woodland setting for outdoor drinks receptions.
Late licensed till 12:30pm, this distinctive red brick facade – still featuring the original and distinctive chimney – is located on a six-acre site in the heart of Sherwood Forest with tranquil surroundings and the ultimate wedding photo opportunities for stylish, fun-seeking couples.
The Pumping House in Ollerton is an on-trend wedding venue featuring everything a couple could wish for. A beautiful main reception room flooded with natural light, a licenced ceremony room, seven individually themed rooms to use as you wish, gorgeous grounds and luxury onsite apartment accommodation. Not to mention incredible food and drink and a team of trusted coordinators.
THAT WAS THEN
Situated on the edge of Sherwood Forest, The Pumping House was originally called Boughton Pumping Station and opened in 1905. Featuring a huge brick chimney (that remains intact and serves as a major local landmark), the building was capable of pumping a monumental 20 million imperial gallons per day.
After a changing of hands, it was listed as Grade II in 1974 and over the years it has been refurbished to a stunning standard, resulting in what is now The Pumping House – an exclusive use wedding venue with acres of charm, character and class.
THIS IS NOW
Commanding, imposing yet emotionally atmospheric, couples will struggle to find a venue more versatile than The Pumping House. The eight upstairs rooms are a myriad of modern marriage excellence, allowing guests to flow seamlessly from space to space throughout the celebrations. Your own wedding home, to call your own.
The Ollerton Room
Parquet flooring, original paned arch windows, gorgeous pillars and an intimate feel, The Ollerton Room is the perfect ceremony space to say I Do, fitting from as little as two to 150 guests.
The Bridal Room
The perfect luxury escape for the bride and her tribe throughout the day. Located just next to The Ollerton Room, it’s perfectly positioned for the aisle entrance, and this stylish space is complete with a vintage dressing table, chair, sofa and full length mirror – plus rays of natural light and views into the forest.
The Conservatory Room
Complete with it’s own private bar, classical interiors and eclectically relaxed feel, The Conservatory is the perfect place for a celebratory ‘cheers’ or two - stealing away for a quiet moment or a group cuddle when the clock strikes home time.
The Engine Hall
Get the wedding wheels in motion in the main reception space. This room offers a private bar, unique tiled walls, stunning arched windows and a super suspended high glass ceiling creating the ultimate illuminating space for modern romantics. Full day-to-night shindigs can come to life in this impeccable room that fits from 30-160 guests seated, and up to 250 for the evening, where a canopy of overhead festoon lights produce a gorgeous low-lit ambience for nighttime dancing and merriment.
The room can accommodate various layouts and can be used as a canvas for different theming and settings.
BELLE LOVES: MARRIAGE MENUS
Everyone loves a roast, and everybody loves being host. The Pumping House’s ‘Host a Roast’ menu makes you assign a guest as the server for each table, giving them an apron, chefs hat, carving board and knife set. The herb basted turkey breast with chipolatas and pancetta gets our vote.
If that’s not for you, there’s an abundance of other options including sharing boards, Spanish tapas, BBQ style banquets and the classic three-course wedding breakfast with perfect presentation and silver service.
FOOD WAS DELICIOUS. EVERY SINGLE PERSON WAS SHOCKED BY HOW AMAZING THEIR FOOD WAS AND THEY ALL SAID IT WAS THE BEST WEDDING MEAL THEY’VE EVER HAD.
JACKIE, BRIDE
YOUR OWN OASIS

Huge lofted ceilings, industrial rustic furnishings and warming touches fuse authentic Edwardian architecture with contemporary coolness – this is wedding accommodation, done well.
