The medieval Undercroft is the perfect venue for parties of between 60 – 120 guests and no-one can fail to be amazed by the stunning setting. Welcome drinks served in the Entrance Hall and on the terrace, followed by dinner and dancing in the medieval Undercroft are all yours to enjoy.
Or for smaller parties have you considered The Bishop’s Table as your venue? Enjoy welcome drinks on the terrace with stunning views over the croquet lawn to the Palace, followed by dinner in The Bishop’s Table. A less formal, but equally impressive venue and perfect for parties of 20 – 40 guests.

Sometimes it’s just good to get out of the office…

Why not make the most of your surroundings by including a guided walk of the grounds as part of your day? And after a long day’s work you can always let us take care of you and your guests by enjoying drinks on the terrace followed by dinner in the medieval Undercroft or in The Bishop’s Table.
