Seminars and company events
The palace offers exclusive hire for corporate events: conferences, seminars, executive meetings, team-building retreats, gala dinners and brand events. The site mentions versatile meeting rooms and modern facilities. A keynote conference can sit 150 in the Great Hall, and a larger event can use several rooms for up to 300 guests, with spaces that move from sessions to networking and dining.

Ask the events team for the layouts, the number of breakout rooms and the equipment supplied.
Weddings and receptions

The property is also available for private parties such as milestone birthdays and soirees, with the same seating figures: 150 seated in the Great Hall or 300 across adjoining rooms.
