Our mansion is set within 10 acres of grounds with multiple reception rooms, bar and disco room, dining and catering facilities, and accommodation, allowing us to offer bespoke events utilising our 30 years of events management experience.

We can cater for a wide range of indoor and outdoor events, all on an exclusive use basis, whether it’s a one-day, evening-only affair, or multi-day event. From private lunches and dinners, photoshoots, corporate fun days, or balls to Christmas parties, birthdays, anniversaries, or engagement celebrations, our venue can accommodate any event from as little as 30 guests to as many as 250.

Our facilities can provide catering for multi-course meals, canapes, afternoon tea, BBQ, street food, or tea, coffee, and cake, depending on your requirements, with alfresco dining also available. We have an in-house DJ available for our bar & disco room, plus a number of beautiful function rooms, from the Ballroom to the Library. As we offer exclusive use, on the day of your event you will have full access to the mansion and can use our facilities as you see fit to make your event a success.

As seasoned event specialists, we are able to provide numerous extras beyond venue hire and catering that can take your event to the next level, helping to take the stress out of your day and provide you and your guests with a luxury experience. Extras include venue styling, such as gold cutlery, premium table centrepieces, Chiavari chairs with choice of sash, and gold rim glasses; an array of Giant Garden Games from Connect 4, Chess, and Jenga, to Croquet; food and drink extras such as an Ice Cream Tricycle, Candy Cart, Gin, Prosecco or Cocktail Cart, and a Krispy Kreme Donut Wall; plus more exciting additions that can be added.

Additionally, we work with a hand-picked selection of trusted suppliers that we can recommend to enhance your event and achieve the event you require. These suppliers are familiar with the venue having worked here many times and are able to work to your budget as well as the layout of our venue to provide an optimal service.

Perfectly positioned for events in the East of England, our Essex location is easily accessible from Chelmsford, Cambridge, Colchester, Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds, and other popular cities. Our accommodation also makes it easier for any guests travelling from further afield as rooms can be added on a bed and breakfast basis.
