Party Time…

Spread over all 4 rooms and over-spilling to the Terrace in the summer, invite as many as 130 total guests to join you in the evening.

Our onsite licensed bar in the Drawing Room is staffed to provide everyone with a wide selection of drinks to suit any taste. Our gin selection alone currently has a choice of over 15.

A band or DJ is very welcome to perform in the Great Hall, giving plenty of space to bust some moves.

The Morning Room can host other special activities such as photo booths, sweetie tables or children’s activities- so many options.

The Ceremony…

All our event rooms are licensed for civil ceremonies so you can choose the one that has the right character for your wedding. Indoor ceremonies are included in our venue fees and you can choose from:

  • The Morning Room can host ceremonies for up to 70 and its light and bright walls and columns are a wonderful contrast to the wood paneling in some of the other areas. There are enticing views out to the Sunken Garden and Terrace.

  • The Great Hall is perfect for those with 70+ guests and offers a spacious option. Atmospheric dark wood paneling is balancing by full height bay windows allowing in floods of natural light.

  • The Old Library is a more relaxed option for up to 20 guests where you can get married in front of an open fire.

Why not make the most of our enchanting Sunken Garden and say your vows in front of our jasmine arch, after descending from the sweeping stone steps .

Bed Time…

Our stunning Wedding Suite is one of the best around and is included in our rates and boasts a luxurious bathroom with freestanding bath with views over the Sunken Garden, spacious shower and double sinks.

The dressing room offers the chance for fantastic photos with your bridal party earlier in the day if you choose to get ready with us.

12 other bedrooms, uniquely set over 3 self-contained apartments allow a total 24 of your nearest and dearest to stay onsite with you.
