Warwickshire locals, including brides and grooms to-be, are being offered the opportunity to explore the wedding and event facilities at The Charlecote Pheasant Hotel, including a first viewing of a five-acre outdoor event site complete with luxury tipis.

From 11am to 4pm on Friday 19th – Sunday 21st the Hotel will throw open its doors to the public for its first open weekend since it came under new ownership of Vine Hotels in August 2020, showcasing its range of flexible event spaces suitable for all types and sizes of celebration.

In addition to the Hotel’s existing indoor event facilities, visitors will be given the opportunity to explore a spectacular temporary event structure, especially created for the Hotel using four giant interconnecting tipis. All will be dressed to illustrate how weddings and parties could be designed within the spaces. Complimentary refreshments will be available. Pre-book indoor tours only by emailing weddingscp@charlecotepheasanthotel.co.uk

General manager of The Charlecote Pheasant Hotel, Alice Davies said: “We are already lucky enough to have first class facilities at the hotel suitable for events of all shapes sizes, as well as excellent transport links to the surrounding areas. On top of this we are excited to unveil a huge, five-acre outdoor space with breath-taking views of the Warwickshire countryside, that, until now, has never been utilised to its full potential.

“We know events that fuse indoor and outdoor spaces are becoming hugely popular, so we sought out a partner who could deliver flexible, temporary outdoor event solution to meet this need, and of course, to make the most of the beautiful setting. The tipis from Katachiefs fit the bill perfectly and I am sure visitors won’t fail to be impressed.”

Rob Smith from Katachiefs, a Midlands-based company that specialises in luxury tipis for weddings and celebration events, said: “There is something truly magical about an event inside a tipi. From the rustic feel of the wooden poles, to the welcoming glow of the fire pit and the sparkling of hundreds of fairy lights – guests on the day will experience our tipis dressed at their absolute best to create a truly stunning event space.

“Whether you want to create a traditional rustic atmosphere or are seeking a bold, contemporary feel, our tipis will make your event one to be remembered. They are inter-linkable; meaning we can cater for small events with a standalone tipi or link several together for larger, more exuberant celebrations.”

The Hotel offers a choice of up to six event rooms, all with natural daylight.  A tour of the Hotel will give guests chance the opportunity to view the Hotel’s wedding and party facilities, including The Hampton Suite and Garden Pavilion, both of which are licensed for civil ceremonies. The Hampton Suite is situated within the hotel grounds and is the old hayloft which dates to the 16th Century. It offers a completely self-contained including a reception lounge, private outdoor seating, and function room with bar area. Plus, ample on-site parking.

The Charlecote Pheasant (www.charlecotepheasanthotel.co.uk) is situated in the pretty Warwickshire village of Charlecote, close to Stratford-Upon-Avon, just four miles from the M40 and 18 miles from Birmingham Airport. The Hotel was originally Benham’s Farm, dating back to the 16th century, and is a venue that exudes charm with its original beams, character furnishings and exposed brickwork.
