Looking for a venue you can completely take over for your Christmas do? Maybe you're planning an away day for the whole company and need a special retreat? Well, if you're based in or near Essex, then we have the perfect place for you.
That Amazing Place is a 15th century manor house nestled within the Essex countryside and is the perfect venue for Christmas parties. While it was previously being used residentially, the current owners have loved renovating it for parties and weddings, offering an exclusive-use space for special occasions.
Built in traditional style and boasting stunning original features, the main house has a selection of reception rooms, beautiful gardens and comes with a cottage that can sleep up to 31 people. Inside, you'll find the Lakeview Lounge and with its bay sash windows, wall panelling and fireplace, it's easy to see how this was a cosy living room for a family to enjoy. Now, this 70-person space can be transformed into a dancefloor, reception area of even kept as a lounge.
For a big festive bash, the Hall has a capacity for up to 100 guests, lots of wide, open space and natural light, too. While this area benefits from classic features too, it's more a blank canvas and can work for whatever kind of soiree you were imagining. Whether it be a big group dinner, an awards ceremony, buffet-style dining and drinks, or just a party, this is a great spot for the heart of your event.
Or, take things out to the garden and hold your party in the marquee. It's true, December isn't the warmest month, but the marquee is fit for purpose all year round and would look magical lit up with fairy lights and Christmas-themed decorations, like a mini winter wonderland. This space can be used for up to 200 guests and there's even an in-house DJ.
