Seminars and company events
The pages provided do not offer conferences or corporate hire. The site lists weddings and venue hire, private hire and celebrations, and a Hall and Stable Courtyard section, so a company dinner or reception can be raised with the events team, but no meeting rooms or capacities are published.
Weddings and receptions
The hall offers exclusive-use, bespoke weddings where the Hall is the couple's and their family's for a weekend. The Ballroom is licensed for a civil ceremony and seats up to 90 for the wedding breakfast. Evening celebrations are held in the Georgian Stables for up to 150 guests.
New for 2026, weekday weddings include a civil ceremony in the Ballroom and a drinks reception on the Heritage Floor, followed by dining and dancing in the Georgian Stables. A wedding brochure can be downloaded, and the team handles availability and planning.
Rooms and capacities
Ballroom: up to 90 seated, licensed for civil ceremonies. Georgian Stables: up to 150 for evening celebrations. Heritage Floor: drinks receptions. The Hall and Stable Courtyard are also part of the offer.
The sequence of spaces is the main planning point. Guests move from the civil ceremony in the Ballroom to a drinks reception on the Heritage Floor, then to dinner for up to 90 in the Ballroom and an evening for up to 150 in the Georgian Stables. Couples with more than 90 guests for dinner should ask how the Stables are laid out for a sit-down meal, since the 150 figure is given for the evening celebration.
Accommodation
The hall has 15 bedrooms for close friends and family, and a stay and exclusive hire section on the site.
Catering
The pages provided do not describe catering for weddings. Ask the team whether a caterer is supplied or chosen by the couple.
History and setting
The hall was built in 1697 and has been the Fothergill family home; it opens for guided tours and a festive afternoon tea on select dates. The Culture Recovery Fund Heritage Grant supported the new website.
Weekday weddings are a new option for 2026, which can suit couples who want the hall at a quieter time of the week and a smaller guest list. Availability and dates are handled by the events team by email or telephone.
