Wennington Hall, a luxury hotel, wellbeing retreat, and exclusive wedding and event venue, is set to open near Lancaster in 2024. The historic building in the delightful Lune Valley village of Wennington was acquired by Lancashire County Council after the school closed in the summer of 2022. After a year of consultation, surveys, and planning, the proposed change of use has been given the go-ahead.

The chairman of James’ Places, James Warburton, said: “Wennington Hall is going to be a fantastic addition to our family of wonderful buildings and businesses. The building itself, with towers, turrets, spiral staircases, and Gothic arches galore, is simply magnificent. Bringing Wennington Hall back to life is our first big challenge since we completed the redevelopment of Holmes Mill. There’s an awful lot of it, and there is an awful lot to get stuck into, but the opportunities are endless. After nearly 70 years of being closed to the outside world, we are under a bit of pressure to create something special. The re-opening of Wennington Hall will be quite a ta dah moment. We aim to create the most beautiful, romantic, and fun wedding and event venue in North Lancashire and the South Lakes. Fingers crossed, we get it right!”
