Ballroom  - One of the 2 rooms licensed for civil ceremonies -see also the Drawing Room

A grand yet friendly space which is available for your wedding breakfast or celebratory meal. The ballroom can comfortably seat up to 80 guests for a formal meal or up to 100, if you are planning a more informal event.

Some of our clients choose to extend the ballroom by positioning a small tent outside the French doors and splitting their guests between the ballroom and the tent. The lawn is also perfect for a picnic - the choices are endless.

The Ballroom - 'Party-on' after the ceremony

After your meal, the Ballroom is the ideal place for your evening reception when your caterers remove some of the tables to make room for your disco or band. The parquet floor, fairy lights and disco ball set the scene for you to dance the night away!

The Ballroom is the second room within the house which is licensed for any ceremony. You can seat a maximum of 100 guests or you can have up to 110 guests standing.

Marquees                   

If you are planning a large event and your numbers exceed 100, you will need to hire a marquee for your evening celebrations. You can have up to 250 guests in total and the marquee will be positioned on the large lawn at the side of the house. You and your guests can have access to the house until around 8pm.

If your numbers stay within the 100 limit, you do not need to hire a marquee, although some guests choose to have a marquee, to offer their guests extra coverage.

The Reception Hall   

The reception hall immediately inside the main front door of the house is large enough for you to greet your guests as they arrive, and usher them into the main reception rooms. This area can also be used for refreshments at smaller functions, as it is conveniently positioned near the kitchen.

The Kitchen                

The kitchen is available for the use of your caterers, and is sufficient to accommodate most of our clients' needs.  It is equipped to a good domestic standard, but professional caterers will need to bring their own equipment to cater for large groups.
