Nidd Hall, North Yorkshire: 28 June-1 July
Dating back to the 18th century, this Grade II listed mansion is set within 45 acres of award-winning woodland and gardens with a fishing lake and courts for tennis, volleyball and badminton. Rumour has it that King Edward VIII first met his wife Wallis Simpson at a party at Nidd Hall, so the hotel has turned this into a fun tradition – throwing a party for its guests every night. It’s also just a short drive from the Victorian spa town of Harrogate and the North York Moors.
