About
The Pumping House is a Grade II listed Victorian building set on six acres of grounds on the edge of the Sherwood Forest. Built in 1909, this is a rare venue with heritage that has been restored to meet contemporary tastes.
About us
Two large event spaces, five themed rooms, ten guest bedrooms - all adaptable for your personal wedding day or celebration. Our experienced and friendly team understands that every wedding is unique. It’s all in the little details. So they are on hand to make any bespoke tweaks you need for everything to go just so.
The Pumping House benefits from a variety of original features, such as a striking red brick frontage, a towering combustor chimney and full-length arched windows which let in an abundance of natural light. The central space is an impressive double-height Engine Hall, with space for seated dinners, dancing and performances, while the licensed ceremony room on the upper floor has views over the forest. We provide stylish accommodation for wedding guests, too.
Our building is late licensed until 12.30am, and is a short drive from Sheffield, Nottingham, Lincoln and Mansfield. The Grade II listed Victorian house on the edge of a forest: where tradition meets modernity for a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, imagined by you.

We want every couple to have their dream wedding. We try to be as flexible as possible but there are a couple of things beyond our control, this means no drinks are allowed outside after 9.30 pm due to licensing. Our woodland setting is recognised for its organic beauty and environmental ethos means we ask that all confetti is natural and created from rose petals or biodegradable material. We do not allow tapered or naked candles, however candles are encouraged in an enclosed cylinder.
