Evening reception

As your evening guests begin to arrive and the night gets into full swing, you will cut your cake before enjoying your first dance as a married couple. Choose between a first dance in the Main Hall for a more traditional setting or head to the Cellar Bar to start the party on the dancefloor.

During your reception, guests can first enjoy drinks in The Cocktail Bar which is fully stocked with draught beers, ciders and wine. This ground-level bar is just a stone’s throw from the Cocktail terrace and is perfect for celebrating during the daylight hours.

Alternatively, for those that want to boogie into the small hours, The Cellar Bar has been designed with your evening reception in mind; located on the lower level, this vaulted room provides guests with a chance to let their hair down on the dance floor. Our in-house DJ will play all your favourite tunes and give your guests an unforgettable night, or there’s space for your own band to play if you choose.

For guests with little ones, the Children’s Room is a fun and colourful space that provides toys and games to keep them entertained. Opposite you’ll find the Quiet Room, perfect for taking a much-needed break from the party to relax and unwind. With exclusive use of the whole grounds on the day of your wedding, the Library and Drawing Room will also be available, with the latter providing views over the croquet lawn, which guests can partake in. The Cocktail Terrace is also a quiet escape to sit and enjoy the sunset or a great place for welcome drinks and canapes. You can also consider a hog roast or BBQ as an added extra as well.

If you want to make your evening reception extra special, you can add a Prosecco Bar, Hot Chocolate Station, or even a Candy Station, among others, to give your guests an evening they’ll never forget.
