The Lord Leycester Hospital is a true medieval gem in Warwickshire, and provides a historic and unique venue for your very special day.
Made up of a group of 14thCentury timber-framed buildings on Warwick High Street, The Lord Leycester Hospital has never been a medical establishment and simply uses the word ‘hospital’ in its ancient sense – in other words a warm and welcoming establishment for the needy.
The incredibly special, historic feel of the venue is ideal for your wedding if you want a day filled with an intimate and informal atmosphere. Say your ‘I do’s to your partner inside the wonderful 600 year old Guildhall or even the ancient Great Hall, which boasts a splendid beamed roof.
Enjoy unrivalled opportunities for photographs after the ceremony in the galleried Courtyard and the Master’s Garden, ideal for some precious stolen moments with your partner.
After the ceremony, you and your party can enjoy a reception or wedding breakfast back in the medieval Great Hall. You’ll be treated to a grand array of food and wine of an impressive quality from our recommended suppliers.
Continue the celebrations and dance the night away in the Hall with all your loved ones, underneath the same roof where King James the First originally dined in 1617 – the perfect way to end your special day.

Mr P
October 2024I recently visited the Lord Leycester Hospital in Warwick, and it was an incredible experience for any history enthusiast. The site, founded in the 14th century, is rich with medieval architecture, which transports you back in time the moment you step inside. Originally built as a guildhall for the Guild of St George, it later became a retirement home for soldiers in the 16th century, thanks to a grant by Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. The timber-framed buildings are beautifully preserved, showcasing stunning examples of medieval craftsmanship. The Great Hall, with its intricate wooden beams, is a particular highlight, as are the tranquil Master’s Garden and the chapel, which dates back to 1123. The staff at Lord Leycester were exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable, offering insights into the history and significance of each room. They also provide a helpful map that guides you through the house, ensuring you don’t miss any of the key features. The layout is easy to navigate, and the map offers some fascinating details about each room's history. Overall, it’s a must-visit for anyone interested in English history or medieval architecture. The combination of beautiful surroundings, well-preserved buildings, and excellent staff makes for a memorable day out in Warwick.
