Historic Venues

Elegant event space with park views, private bar, and terrace in a historic, design-led venue.

The Parlor Rooms were the place in times gone by where the most important guests would be received. With the sweeping views over the parkland that these rooms command, it's easy to understand why. The rooms have been kept to their original dimensions with concessions made to provide flexibility for events with dividers to separate. The beautiful hexagonal Parlor Bar mirrors the original patters found in much of the ceiling detailing and provides a private bar for events, with direct access on to the beautiful spacious terrace, which is the most perfect place for a champagne reception!
