We are proud to have wonderful and priceless objects within the museum which, unfortunately, means you cannot get inside of them. However, we are able to host private dining in the beautifully restored Countess of York.
As we have a variety of spaces that can be used together, we can build bespoke packages for our clients to suit their needs. To obtain a quote please contact one of our team on 01904 686226 or email us
