Need a venue? We’ve got history. Literally.
Looking for somewhere to tie the knot, launch the next big thing, or throw a party your guests will talk about for years (in a good way)? We have plenty of new and exciting spaces for hire – all with a major glow-up! We’re talking:
- Weddings (yes, you can get married in our medieval building or celebrate under twinkling lights in our walled garden)
- Corporate hire (because PowerPoint looks better in a 15th-century hall)
- Private events (birthdays, anniversaries, mysterious masked balls – whatever the vibe, we’re here for it)
- Group travel and tours (bring the whole crew)
- Special occasions (if it’s special to you, it’s special to us)
Full of character. Flexible. Shaped by the sea.
