Welcome to The Anchor Gunthorpe

Nestled on the banks of the River Trent in the heart of picturesque Gunthorpe, The Anchor Gunthorpe offers a contemporary rustic wedding venue with relaxed riverside charm and understated Soho-house style vibes.

Designed to feel warm, social, and effortlessly stylish, The Anchor combines character-filled spaces with flexible layouts to suit everything from intimate celebrations to larger wedding parties.

A Venue with Space to Celebrate

Our venue flows naturally between several beautiful areas, giving you the freedom to create a wedding that feels completely your own:

• A stunning contemporary rustic barn full of character and atmosphere
• A spacious courtyard perfect for drinks receptions and outdoor gatherings
• A riverside terrace with sweeping views across Gunthorpe and the River Trent
• Overhead roofing with integrated heating, allowing guests to stay comfortable whatever the season

Whether you're planning a relaxed summer wedding or a cosy winter celebration, every space has been designed to feel inviting, stylish, and flexible.

Relaxed Riverside Weddings

The Anchor is all about laid-back luxury — elegant without feeling formal. Think natural textures, warm lighting, open social spaces, and beautiful river views in one of Nottinghamshire’s most loved villages.

Gunthorpe itself offers a charming village atmosphere, making it the perfect backdrop for a destination-style wedding experience close to home.

Flexible for Every Celebration

From smaller, intimate ceremonies to large-scale celebrations, The Anchor can be adapted to suit a wide range of guest numbers and wedding styles. Our flexible layout allows you to shape the day around your vision, whether that means a relaxed cocktail-style gathering, a traditional seated wedding breakfast, or an all-night party by the river.

Continue the Celebration

For couples wanting to turn their wedding into a full weekend experience, our sister venues provide the perfect continuation of the celebrations:

• Tom Browns Brasserie
• The Old Vol

Both venues offer beautiful settings for a relaxed breakfast or brunch with family and friends the morning after your wedding.
