Facilities and Capacity
We offer beautiful outdoor and indoor ceremony spaces perfect for any time of year. The Panelled Hall (Max. 90 people) with its two carved wooden pillars and stunning fireplace provides the perfect indoor space to say your vows. If you prefer an outdoor ceremony, the 16th century Elizabethan Gatehouse with its original wooden doors, or in front of the fountain on the Balustrade with an amazing view across the valley to Codden Hill are both popular choices to say I Do. We have also recently built the Lookout for a ceremony surrounded by trees and overlooking the countryside.If you wish to have a church wedding, St. Peters Church is situated only a 2 minute walk away at the bottom of the garden.
Once you have tied the knot, its time to celebrate! You and your guests can mingle outside by the fountain or indoors in the front rooms and lounges whilst enjoying welcome drinks and canapes. The Lantern Staircase, Courtyard and outdoor spaces along with the ancient woodlands offer numerous photo opportunities.
The Gatsby inspired Clutterbuck Bar serving Cocktails and Gin is a welcome addition to add some flare to your day and St Michaels Lounge, dedicated to the memory of the school, is great for when your guests fancy a game of pool or chess.The Main Bar, once the Victorian kitchen with its flagstone floor, is a modern yet vintage style space complete with a carefully selected gin list, lager, ales, cider, spirits and soft drinks, everything you could need for a great celebration.
Finally, The Old Refectory (max. 108 people), has been transformed into an elegant function room to host your wedding breakfast. It has a stunning Parquet floor and reclaimed wood feature wall, twinkle lights and, in the evening, sets the stage for a band or disco.
We have developed our Courtyard into a stunning space perfect for your evening celebrations with ambience lighting, plenty of tables and seating underneath a canopy of twinkle lights, a decking area and swinging chairs. Our new Woodfired Stone-baked Pizza Oven is also in the courtyard!
