Wedding venue and hotel gets new owners

A POPULAR wedding and events venue in East Yorkshire has been bought out of administration

Located on Hessle Foreshore in Humber Bridge Country Park, The Country Park Inn has been acquired by Country Park Leisure.

It had gone into administration in 2014, having also suffered devastating flood damage from the tidal surge in 2013. It was on the market earlier this year with a price tag of £695,000.

The sale of the venue was completed this week, securing its future after months of uncertainty.

Walkington-based Country Park Leisure Ltd has plans to enhance and develop the events venue, hotel and restaurant.

Director of the company, Andy Deacon, said: “We’re delighted to have completed the purchase of the Country Park Inn and would like to reassure customers old and new that it is no longer in administration and very much open for business.

“We’re able to offer job security to all of the existing staff, and will be honouring all bookings for weddings and other functions. Over the coming months, we intend to make a series of improvements to ensure that The Country Park Inn has the facilities to match its wonderful riverside location.

“With Hull taking centre stage in 2017 as the UK City of Culture, we want to ensure that The Country Park Inn is looking its best and ready to host a wide variety of events, from weddings and private functions to sporting events and conferences, as well as ensuring that it offers a high standard of overnight accommodation for guests. It’s located in a beautiful spot and we’re very excited about its future.”
