It’s a secluded hideaway, found at the top of a private staircase situated above the River Room. Gaze out of the windows to see guests arriving for your special day.
Formerly the chapel of the Bishop’s palace, The River Room seats up to 110 guests for your civil ceremony and is filled with natural light, its long aisle drawing you towards a bay window looking out on to a secret garden. Elegantly neutral décor, statement chandelier lighting down the central aisle and floor to ceiling curtains create a demure ambience.
