The Great Hall
This rooms includes:
Two working fireplaces, two windows and entrance door to one side, stairs to Billiard Room and Toilet, Door to Lounge.
A large sideboard and round table with chairs can be kept in or removed, depending on how you would like to use the space. When set for a ceremony it can fit four chairs on each side of the aisle and up to 7 rows back. These chairs can be taken from upstairs and replaced with the help of your wedding team after the ceremony.
The Billiard Room
This room includes:
Seven round tables (6 x 5ft round tables, 1 x 6ft round table), 6x trestle tables, 50 chairs (dark wood with ivory padding), working fireplace.
The double doors open to a small patio which can be accessed via steps from the ground floor garden area. Up from that patio is another space perfect for photos or access along to further garden spaces.
There isnt attachments for hanging lights but there are a couple of ornamental chandeliers. The venue does own a few candlesticks which we can dicuss the use of. Each table has a white linen cloth but there are no replacements and a limited number of linen napkins. We can recommend some supplier to hire your own (even in a colour!).
The Garden Room
Opening on the patio, this space can include:
Sofas for approx eight guests, a table with six seats and then outdoor seating for approx 10 people.
