Historic Vale of Belvoir pub set to reopen after two years


The Manners Arms, at Knipton, is set to welcome visitors once more following an extensive refurbishment which will breathe new life into the Grade II listed former shooting lodge whilst retaining many of its 18th Century character features.
Part of the Belvoir Estate, it will relaunch in the spring with a new menu, refurbished bar and dining room plus 10 en suite bedrooms for guests.

Hide AdEmma Manners, The Duchess of Rutland who is personally overseeing the project said: “This beautiful, homely country retreat was the heart of Knipton village for many wonderful years and we would very much like to put The Manners back into the centre of the local community once again.


“The building is too stunning to leave empty with so many cherished memories attached to it.
"I feel people have missed The Manners Arms and all that it offered – so I hope the news of its reopening will be very welcomed.”
Meanwhile the Belvoir Estate is relighting its outdoor pizza ovens from Saturday to serve to visitors at the opening of its Festive Christmas Village events at the Engine Yard, which include a Christmas Grotto experience and naughty elves playground trail.
