Renaissance at Kelham Hall
WHERE
Newark
What it’s like
A grand Victorian hall near Newark that's really a wedding venue, with guided tours on selected days if you fancy a look inside.
This one's a bit different to your usual day out. Kelham Hall is primarily a wedding and events venue these days, so you can't just turn up and wander round. The hall itself is only open to the public as part of guided tours on selected days, and you need to book an appointment with the events team to get in.
What you can do without booking anything is enjoy the grounds, which include St Wilfrid's Church on site. If a tour date lines up with your visit, it's the kind of grand Victorian building that older kids interested in history or architecture might get something out of, though there's nothing here pitched specifically at children.
Parking's free and there's a large car park for customers, which helps if you're juggling a pushchair or just don't fancy paying to park on top of everything else. The site has ramps and accessible routes for wheelchair users too, with the team able to make reasonable arrangements if you need something specific.
Given it's essentially a wedding venue with occasional public tours, this is more a stop for a specific guided visit than a spontaneous afternoon out. Ring ahead to check a tour is actually running before you set off.
