Yes, of course! Candles work well in the Pavilion, every month of the year! We only ask that there are on a holder, to catch any melting wax!

Our Pavilion is heated using indirect heaters which sit outside and blow warm air through ducts and are thermostatically controlled. You have nothing to worry about. We are experts and the Pavilion is airtight.

A variety of lighting effects are available – from fairly light canopy to uplights! We can add additional lighting both indoors & outdoors, to create the atmosphere you are looking for..
What time do my guests have to leave at the end of the night?
We ask that carriages are booked for 12.30am (prompt). Music and bar service end at midnight.

Strictly no guests, other than the ones staying in the house, should be in the house at the end of the night.
Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
The venue is fully wheelchair accessible & we have disabled toilet facilities.
