The Venue

House

The events business uses the conservatory, Clark Somers Room, dining hall, gazebo and terrace for conducting smaller weddings and events, particularly during the winter months.  The relaxed ambience in the house is particularly attractive to guests and provides a stunning backdrop for photographs at weddings. The oak panelled hallway is the perfect place for receiving guests before enjoying pre-reception drinks in the Clarke Somers Room.  The bespoke gazebo can be used for ceremonies and perfectly reflects the warm and relaxed character of the house. The conservatory and terrace which adjoin the gazebo are used for outdoor receptions.
