In a bid to increase the income from events held at Capesthorne Hall in Cheshire, six double and family en-suite lodges are being constructed and several on-site cottages renovated. Having put in the plans for this latest development in 2016, the accommodation will be available in May and is predicted to double the number of future wedding bookings, as well as create three new jobs at the Bromley-Davenport family-owned estate.
Capesthorne Hall has made a significant investment into the project and also received a LEADER funding grant, which provides funding for projects that create jobs, help businesses to grow and benefit the rural economy. The new accommodation at the Macclesfield venue will also be offered to those visiting the area and will be available all year round, creating an additional income stream to help fund essential repairs to the hall and grounds.
