Our indoor fireplace area is the perfect location for shade in a hot summers’ day, or an cosy indoor area in winter with views still out to our beautiful gardens. In the summer, we can open our huge glass sliders which will fully open up the venue or on a cold wet day we can keep closed and we can warm you with our huge stone fireplace.
When hiring our venue exclusively for your event, our fireplace area is perfect for mingling followed by dining in our main events room, where you enjoy eating under a canopy of vines and vintage lights, still able to look out to our expansive gardens.
