Whatever the
objective of
your event and
whatever its
size, come and
see for yourself
how we can
make it truly
exceptional.
We don’t simply ‘do’ conferences, product launches or team-building,
we bring them to life - every day.
We’re Always the Exception. Never the Rule.
And what could be more exceptional
than this...
...A castle that has stood on this imposing site since Norman times when
William the Conqueror’s standard bearer at the Battle of Hastings, Robert de
Todeni, first built here.
...A fabulous building that has been shaped by centuries of wars, architectural
styles and finally a catastrophic fire in 1816 to become the magnificent family
home and nationally important historic monument it is now.
...Stunning frescos and tapestries adorning the walls, marble statues and fine
furniture gracing the grand rooms - all reminders of the castle’s colourful
and elegant past but also very much part of the lives of the present Duke and
Duchess of Rutland and their family.
All this and more awaits you at Belvoir.
Belvoir pronounced
‘Beever’ meaning literally,
‘beautiful view’ - you can
easily see why!
And we’re tailor Made
to make anything possible.
There’s no such thing as ‘offthe-peg’. We pride ourselves in
tailoring our facilities to your
needs.
We Mean Business
Peaceful
Location
Give your new product launch, your annual conference,
or your celebratory dinner in the State Dining Room,
the exclusivity only Belvoir can provide.
There are less imposing rooms for workshops and
break-out meetings, whilst the estate parkland and
woods offer plenty of scope for exciting and memorable
team-building and activity days. Try off-road driving
through the challenging woodland, or dragon boat
racing on the lake. No other venue can match it.
Our Conference and
Meeting Rooms are all
designed to foster a
relaxed and productive
atmosphere in which
fresh thinking and
creativity can flourish.
Attention
to detail
The stylish Shoot Room and the adjoining sitting
room are ideal for small board meetings. Or give your
presentation a theatrical impact in the opulent and
spacious Ballroom or State Dining Room.
You’ll find all the equipment
and technical support you
would expect from a corporate
venue, but with all the
character, exceptional service
and panache for which we are
renowned.
Impeccable
service
Eat
Food is a big part of our life at Belvoir and
That’s Entertainment!
it will be a big part of your experience too.
Our Head Chef sources produce from local
suppliers, producing innovative and exciting
dishes with a strong regional provenance. Let
us know what whets your appetite and we’ll
suggest menus or create something special
with your own taste and budget in mind.
Drink
Pre-dinner drinks have never tasted better
than in the atmospheric Guard Room,
while drinking or dining in the Ballroom or
State Dining Room is an experience never
forgotten. If you’re looking for something
more intimate, there are several smaller but
equally charismatic rooms we can offer.
Why not choose from an elegant and
unobtrusive string quartet, or perhaps a
harpist or pianist? Or an evening of intrigue
with a murder mystery party. For the young
at heart we can supply a live band or disco
for an energetic end to a fabulous day.
However you choose to make
your event memorable, we’ll
make sure it’s talked about for
a long time to come.
... And be Merry
& Stately Suppers
After dinner in the castle, guests can extend their stay for the ultimate Belvoir experience and
spend a luxurious night in one of twelve sumptuous castle bedrooms.
Alternatively we
can offer overnight
accommodation in our
own country inn on the
Belvoir estate.
The Manners Arms, which has ten ensuite rooms, is a former hunting lodge and
the comfortable and welcoming rooms
have been designed and furnished by the
Serene sleepovers
Duchess herself.
For larger groups we can offer excellent rates in a number
of quality hotels in the local area.
It’s a once in a lifetime
opportunity, and we always
go the extra mile to make the
experience complete.
Our Shoot Room
Guns & Roses

Partridge and pheasant abound here,
and our renowned shoots are a great
day’s sport in beautiful countryside. With

never forget..
