Wedding Receptions & Celebrations
The Great Hall, located on the first floor of the main building, can seat up to 220 people for banqueting. The hall provides a unique and elegant setting for a wedding with four large stone arched windows that flood the room with light and provide a pleasing vista across the school playing fields. The sophisticated light wood interior of the Great Hall delivers a simply elegant setting with the flexibility for you decorate the room to your taste.
The grounds immediately adjacent to the main building provide an attractive location for serving reception drinks and canapés, with many couples choosing to book a gazebo on the lawn.
With the main building as a backdrop, you may also want to use this area for photographs. In the event of wet weather, the Foyer with its double staircase leading to the Great Hall provides a suitable alternative.
