Alternative & Unusual Wedding Venues in Nottinghamshire
By Vantom Village · Updated
Vantom Village in Calverton offers non-traditional spaces for weddings and celebrations: The Fairmont (being transformed), a woodland setting called The Forest, a new Lakeside area and Carnival Park for large gatherings. Food, a private bar and a Log Cabin stay are available; ceremony options depend on what is legally permitted at the venue.
Why choose something different?
Many couples want a day that feels personal rather than formulaic. Vantom Village is a family-run countryside estate of woodland, water and characterful spaces, so you can build a celebration around your ideas, timings and guest list.
The spaces
- The Fairmont – a versatile setting at the centre of the village, currently being transformed
- The Forest – among the trees, for ceremonies, toasts, welcome drinks and photographs (tables and chairs included)
- The Lakeside – a new exclusive celebration area beside the lake, launching soon
- Carnival Park – open ground for much larger celebrations
Food, drink and music
Choose a relaxed buffet, Italian dining by Merchant of Venice or bespoke menus from £25 to £75 per person. A private bar can stay open all day, live bands and DJs are welcome, and your finish time is agreed as part of the booking.
A note on ceremonies
Ceremony options depend on what is legally permitted at the venue. Please ask what is currently available for your type of ceremony before you book.
Stay on site
The Log Cabin at Vantom Villas sleeps approximately 6 to 8 guests – a nice way to make a weekend of it.
