It’s a light and airy room with impressive period features and huge bay windows overlooking the Market Place. As well as being licensed for civil wedding ceremonies, it’s ideal for drinks receptions and informal evening soirees. Or you can use the magnificent Drawing Room to entertain your guests during the drinks reception before making your way through to the elegant Dining Room, which can accommodate up to 80 guests for a sit-down meal.
