Locko Hall and park is situated only a few miles from Derby City Centre near Spondon, and has been in the ownership of the Drury-Lowe family since 1746. William Emes was responsible for the park design following a visit in 1792, though the actual work was undertaken by his partner John Webb. The driveway curves around the 16 acre lake, at the end of which one gets the first glimpse of the house across a level area containing fine specimen trees and conifers.
The house has strong Italianate features. The oldest part is the chapel which dates from 1669 while the core of the present house was built during the first half of the 18th century.

We have 3 rooms available for wedding ceremonies, the Picture Gallery, the Dining Room and the Billiard Room, the largest of which can hold up to 130 people. Wedding receptions are held in a marquee in the grounds, in front of the Hall. Contact - The Estate Secretary - Tel: 01332 662785, Fax: 01332 281 943, E-mail: office@lockopark.co.uk
