Parts of the estate overlook the shores of Poole Harbour towards the Purbeck Hills. We are ideally situated for the Isle of Purbeck, the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, the surrounding Dorset countryside and the beautiful Dorset coast. We are 6 miles from Poole and 4 miles from Wareham, handy for Sandbanks, Bournemouth, Dorchester and Weymouth.


CEREMONIES

Baby Naming

A baby naming ceremony is a perfect way of celebrating the birth of a new baby with their family and friends. They can also be used to celebrate adoptive children and step children becoming part of a new family. Any parent can arrange a naming ceremony, whether they are married or not and irrespective of spiritual, religious or cultural backgrounds.

Weddings

Holton Lee is a unique location to have your wedding, set within 350 acres of varied landscape that provides stunning views and an array of great photo opportunities.

Faith House, an award-winning building designed by Tony Fretton, is an ideal venue for services with lots of natural light and views towards the shores of Poole Harbour. Faith House provides seating for up to 50 guests.

There is ample free parking for guests, and official wedding cars and disabled badge holders can park directly outside the buildings for the duration of the ceremony. All of our buildings are accessible for disabled people.

We offer Civil Marriage and Civil Partnerships Ceremonies open to anyone, regardless of background or faith. We also host wedding receptions, but do not insist that you use our facilities if you hold your ceremony here.
