Kelham Hall in Nottinghamshire is planning to set up a new hotel and conference centre, with the creation of 80 jobs.
Kelham Hall is to be transformed from council offices into a hotel, spa and conference centre following the sale of the building to Kelham Hall Limited.
The deal heralds an exciting new future for the historic building and grounds, enabling Kelham Hall Limited - which until now has had a lease to operate the ground floor and host weddings, events and other activities at Kelham Hall - to convert the building and develop and grow its business.
Jonathan Pass, owner of Kelham Hall, said, “This is a really exciting time for Kelham Hall. Our plans will bring the Hall to life, giving people the opportunity not just to visit but to stay in this historic building. We have already invested significantly in the Hall and Grounds to improve the quality of events. In the future we will be able to offer quality accommodation, restaurants and bars.”
Kelham Hall Ltd will be creating more than 80 new jobs as the business expands. The company is also investing in the grounds which will remain open to the public as well as providing outdoor events, camping and caravanning.
