summer months, you can enjoy strawberries and cream in open gardens and at Christmas, panelled, candle-lit rooms offer a unique festive feel.
Our Service
You can make an enquiry by using our online form or by calling us. We build a profile of your event and circulate it to all our venues, so you don't have to contact each venue independently; those with facilities that match your requirements and availability will then contact you directly.
We contact you again, one week after your initial enquiry, to see if you have received a satisfactory response, or to see if we can help any further. We do this to make sure our clients find suitable hosts and we like to find out where each event is placed for our records.
Once you have chosen a venue, we strongly recommend that you visit before your event and that you make a provisional booking, directly with the venue at your earliest convenience, as our venues do get very booked up.
Each venue has its own terms and conditions; please take the time to check these in advance of any booking, as cancellation charges do apply in most instances.
The Conference and Catering Departments in our venues will take care of all your event requirements and we would be pleased to help with any enquiries that you may have regarding travel or other activities during your visit, such as guided tours or punting.
