Our biggest indoor venue, the magnificent Tudor Old Palace, was built in 1485 and the childhood home of Elizabeth I where she held her first Council of State. It is one of the foremost examples of mediaeval brickwork in the country, and still retains its original wood beams and impressive high ceilings. The Tapestry, elegantly hanging in the Old Palace, is a replica of the original 'Devonshire Hunting Series', which you can now find in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
The stunning and open Knot Garden, attached to the Old Palace, is based on Elizabethan patterns, and provides exquisite photo opportunities for both weddings and corporate events. The Raised Lawn is perfect for outdoor blessings, drinks receptions, and lawn games with breath-taking views of Hatfield House, home to Lord and Lady Salisbury who reside there today. For warmer weather, the Knot Garden is ideal for summer celebrations such as BBQ’s, hog roasts, and food stations – the perfect corporate party.
The Old Palace can accommodate large events on long or round banqueting tables, and space for a DJ and dancefloor. Our spacious bar is attached to the room, meaning guests do not have to wonder far for drinks, and is the perfect area to add additional entertainment such as photobooths.
