seats up to 150/175 – a light room suitable for large presentations, art, and physical workshops.

The Ballroom

An elegant, tranquil room with antique grand piano, suited to larger groups, lectures, and concerts,

enhanced in winter by a log-burning stove, or lit by candlelight. Patio doors lead on to a small glass conservatory.

(31’ x 22’, 10m x 7.1m), seated capacity of 80 people.

A peaceful reflective space with a log fire and many old books – a quiet space to sit and think whilst gazing out over the lawn.

The Library also contains sofas and sound equipment so that the room can be used as a workshop space.
