Business. Built around You.


Located in the heart of rural Leicestershire, Kilworth House Hotel & Theatre is a Grade II listed Victorian country estate with 38 acres of landscaped parkland, offering fine dining, luxury accommodation and an open-air theatre.
The hotel contains 44 individually themed guest bedrooms with countryside views, as well as two restaurants, four private dining rooms and eight conference rooms, catering from small meetings to large corporate events, weddings and parties. Kilworth House is an AA 4-Red Star hotel, one of only 152 Red Star hotels in the UK, and is known for its exceptional level of hospitality and service.
Set in a woodland beside a lake, and with a capacity of 550, Kilworth House is home to an award-winning open-air theatre opened in 2007 and plays host to West End musicals and concerts during the summer months, creating a unique entertainment experience for guests.
The expansive grounds at Kilworth House offer exciting potential for further development, subject to planning permissions. There is the opportunity to create a further ten bedrooms through converting some of the existing meeting spaces, as well as building a new spa and leisure facility.
Situated around four miles east of the M1 (Junction 20), its location and facilities make Kilworth House a popular choice for both corporate events and leisure weekends.
After creating and owning the hotel for 23 years, the owners of Kilworth House have decided to retire and put the property on the market.
Jeremy Jones, Head of Hotel Brokerage at Christie & Co, commented, “Kilworth House Hotel & Theatre is a unique hospitality and musical theatre experience in the heart of the country. It is a labour of love for a listed heritage building and home to one of the UK’s most imaginative theatrical settings. This retirement sale presents an opportunity for somebody grow the business even further, building upon its current fine reputation.”
Tom Cunningham of Savills commented, “This is a rare opportunity to acquire a renowned country hotel that includes two restaurants, conferencing facilities and an open-air theatre. It offers the best of both worlds: a secluded rural location as well as easy access to motorway.”
Kilworth House Hotel & Theatre is on the market with an asking price of offers over £7,500,000.
