An open countryside estate for events of every scale – festival fields, lakeside lawns, a timber-framed hall and galleries, with Italian catering on site.
From intimate gatherings to large public events, Vantom Village offers a rare mix of outdoor and indoor space within the Nottinghamshire countryside, close to Nottingham.
The estate already hosts Vantom Overdrive car shows, the Patchings Art Fest, Christmas markets and a year-round programme – and we’re always open to new ideas. Tell us what you’re planning and we’ll shape it with you.
Use one space or combine several. Availability depends on your date and plans, and capacities are confirmed when you enquire.
