Oddfellows on the Park can't wait to see you soon!

Front of Oddfellows on the Park

The team at Oddfellows on the Park is working hard, planning new menus, making sure Bruntwood Hall is shipshape and taking the necessary precautions to open its doors safely at the beginning of September.

Our editor visited Oddfellows on the Park last year and loved every second of her stay...

"The exterior’s original 19th-century façade, belies its modern interior design. As we were being checked in my eyes were already being pulled into several directions. From the exquisite Victorian-style tiled floor, and contemporary chandelier, to the oddball assortment of paintings leading up the stairs, the hotel immediately fascinates and intrigues. Quirky, eccentric and charming are the bywords here, nodding deftly towards the organisation that inspires this hotel group. The Oddfellows was known as the society of misfits. Not a place for traditional professionals they embraced the philosophers, idealists and dreamers of the world.

"Bruntwood Hall, which now houses Oddfellows on the Park was built in Gothic style by stuff merchant John Douglas in 1861. Its second owner, Major James Platt, was known locally as The Galloping Major and used the surrounding grounds as an equestrian stud. He extended the original Hall to include the sprung ballroom, now home to restaurant that’s named after him. Since then, it’s seen various uses from WWII hospital to recording studio. I mention the Hall’s varied history because every former resident has left their own mark, and each design contribution has been lovingly restored to form part of the hotel’s fabric, successfully juxtaposing the old with the new."

Once dominated by big nights out and budget flights abroad, hen and stag parties in the UK are having a rethink, and things are now looking very different. Research suggests that pre-wedding celebrations could be completely sober as early as 2040, with groups instead embracing alcohol-free celebrations that they're more likely to remember. Also, rising travel costs, tighter schedules and a growing appetite for wellness experiences are pushing more groups to stay closer to home.

The philosophy of white - Pantone's Colour of the Year

White has always been more than a colour; it is the quiet space between thought and form, the light-filled pause where the eye rests and the mind find clarity.

Pantone's selection of PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer as the Colour of the Year 2026 celebrates this very essence - a lofty, aerated white that whispers calm and serenity into a frenetic society.
