Taking inspiration from Robert Adams, he constructed this elegant four-story building, built from the finest Portland stone, suffused with Art Deco elegance and featuring Palladian motifs throughout.
There is a choice of spaces to hire, from the atmospheric speakeasy-style subterranean The Grace Below, the intimate The Director’s Observatory, lavish Main Hall and even a room styled with vintage kitchen props.

Guests can enjoy welcome drinks and games on the main lawn over-looking the Thames before following a winding path through the woodland as the stunning main marquee is revealed with views of the river through the dappled light of the weeping willow and, as the day drifts into evening, an open bonfire can be lit for guests for later in the evening.
