About Burloes Hall

After conquering The Great North Run together, two friends – Katharine & Nicole – decided to set up Burloes Hall as an event venue.

With following rules:

Rule One:
There would only be only one wedding and one event a week: each occasion is special, not part of a production line.

Rule Two:
Delivering a personal service would always be paramount and the focus would be on the joy of the experience, not the bottom line.

Rule Three:
Integrity and honesty would always underpin their business values – no ifs, no buts.

Since we started in 2013, nothing has changed. Every event at Burloes Hall is special and our team of specialists will always strive to deliver a personal service with your needs at its heart.

Burloes, where ‘special’ really does mean ‘special’.

A Rich History

Burloes Hall, a beautiful Queen Anne Style country house, is set in almost 1,000 acres of rolling Hertfordshire countryside and farmland. The estate, which is owned by Sir Francis & Lady Katharine Newman was originally bought by Francis Newman’s grandfather, Sir Cecil Newman, in 1923.

Situated on the Greenwich Meridian, the estate is near the crossroads of two ancient roads, the Icknield Way and Ermine Street. Unfortunately, the original house burnt down in 1929, but rebuilding it allowed the family to extend and modernise their home. The Hall was completed in 1937.

During the Second World War, Sir John Mills the film and theatre actor was stationed at RAF Barkway and dined regularly with the Newman family.

The Perfect View

Today Burloes Hall is the centre of a thriving estate and a happy family home.

Its gardens provide an ideal venue for weddings, events and parties, as well as the perfect backdrop for any film or promotional video.

The Hall’s generous lawns are bordered by handsome beech trees, while mature yew hedges enclose secret Edwardian gardens, offering old world charm.

“The whole process of planning the wedding at Burloes was relaxed and stress free. Katharine and Nicole had a genuine interest and excitement in our day which was really lovely.”
