Dry hire rates vary by event type and duration. Wedding ceremonies cost £2,000 + VAT for Saturday hire (11:00-13:00), while exclusive venue hire for events like wedding receptions is £5,000 + VAT (10:00-18:00). Specific filming rates are not detailed in available pricing information, so contact the venue directly for film and photo shoot rates.

The Main Hall accommodates up to 200 guests for seated events or ceremonies. For standing receptions, the venue can host up to 330 people. The Court Room is available for smaller ceremonies and has direct garden access via a decorative wrought iron staircase.

The venue has 3-phase power available for professional equipment. AV equipment including projectors, microphones, and speaker systems can be provided for events, though specific filming equipment availability is not detailed. Contact the venue to confirm what technical equipment is included versus what needs to be brought in.

Standard event hire shows availability from 10:00-18:00 for full day events, with some flexibility for extended hours. The venue appears to have different availability and potentially different rates for different days of the week, as evidenced by specific Saturday rates for weddings. Confirm filming hour restrictions and any day-specific limitations when booking.

The Main Hall features gleaming oak flooring, carved oak paneling from the 1600s, and huge stained-glass windows providing impressive natural light. The Court Room overlooks the garden with Rococo ornamentation in gold and an 18th century carved mantelpiece. The secluded garden provides outdoor filming opportunities and is popular for summer events.

The venue requires specific event details including dates, timings, and requirements before providing quotes. Multiple dates may be offered if preferred dates are unavailable. Payment terms and deposit requirements are not specified in available information, so these details should be confirmed during the booking process.

All quoted prices are exclusive of VAT (20% additional). For events requiring catering, external caterers must be approved by the venue. Additional costs may apply for extended hours, specific equipment, or services beyond basic venue hire, though exact mandatory fees are not detailed in available pricing.

Setup access can be arranged before events, as evidenced by requests for "access a few hours beforehand to set up" for regular events. The venue is fully accessible following recent renovations and has air cooling throughout. Specific load-in procedures and equipment access routes should be confirmed when booking.

The venue reviews external supplier credentials, as mentioned for catering providers who must be approved. This suggests filming crews and equipment suppliers may also require approval. Contact the venue early in your planning process to ensure your preferred suppliers can be approved.

The venue regularly declines bookings due to unavailability, suggesting popular dates book well in advance. For corporate events, the venue sometimes requests proposals "by 2PM today latest" indicating they can accommodate short-notice bookings when available. Book as early as possible for preferred dates, especially for weekend filming.
