Wollaton Hall is a Grade I listed building and one of the finest Elizabethan mansions in England.

Recently transformed into Wayne Manor for the filming of Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Rises, the Hall stands on a hill in 500 acres of beautiful parkland in which red and fallow deer roam freely.

The Hall’s elegant rooms are available for events and functions, including weddings, film and photography shoots, special occasions – parties and sleepovers – corporate seminars, training and social events, as well as product and press launches.

Wollaton Hall was originally designed by Robert Smythson and built for Sir Francis Willoughby, being completed following eight years of building work in 1588- the year of the Spanish Armada.

The building is in the English Renaissance style and its flamboyant design is considered to be a masterpiece. Following a fire in 1642 the interior was extensively remodelled, and again radically redesigned by Sir Jeffry Wyatville in the late 18th and early 19th centuries for the 6th Lord Middleton. The exterior remains little altered since its construction and is as stunning today as it was in 1588.

Natural History Museum
Since Wollaton Hall opened to the public in 1926, it has been home to the city's natural history museum. On display are some of the best items from the three quarters of a million specimens that make up its zoology, geology, and botany collections.
