The Ickworth Hotel

About the venue

Gifted by the family to the National Trust in 1956 the East wing is now a spectacular hotel. The Ickworth Hotel is set within 1800 acres of National Trust Parkland, adjoining the rotunda which remains today as a gallery of the former Marquess' life, operated by the National Trust. The nearest town is Bury St. Edmunds, located only 3 miles away. The East wing of the original house sees the re-birth into a stylish yet comfortable hotel.
