Stunning Victorian architecture surrounding two beautiful quadrangles

From small intimate gatherings to larger style parties, our dedicated team will work with you to deliver an event tailored to your requirements this summer. You can enjoy an al fresco drinks reception followed by a BBQ in our stunning South Quadrangle while our Crosslands Suite, a contemporary function room with bar, dance floor and doors leading onto the quadrangle, provides the perfect space for continuing your celebrations into the evening. Alternatively, if you’re looking for a more formal venue, both our Picture Gallery and original Victorian Dining Hall are also conveniently located in the Founder’s Building. Classic, elegant and spacious, the dining hall is an ideal location for a formal banquet or reception for up to 180 seated guests, while the Picture Gallery houses one of the most impressive collections of Victorian art the country has to offer and can cater for up to 120. All our function rooms can be configured in a variety of layouts and our tailored menus offer you a variety of different options to suit all budgets and dietary requirements.
