The Great Hall is a room with undeniable wow-factor. This atmospheric space dates back to the 11th century and boasts high ceilings, a carved wooden fireplace and draped curtains covering floor-to-ceiling windows. At over 15 metres long, this spacious room is a great option for grand feasts and opulent entertaining.
The Lantern Hall is a bright and airy room with beautiful Lancet windows and a sense of gravitas. Formerly the Castle’s Norman Kitchen, you might like to hire this room for seated dinners or receptions. Elsewhere discover The Winchester Suite, which is perfect for parties, receptions, or simply as a breath-taking private dining room. Guests can gaze over Farnham Park and the castle grounds through large picture windows, while period features include panelled walls, a central fireplace and its very own balcony leading to the East Lawn and Rose Garden.
Farnham Castle boasts a breadth of rooms beyond these, from the characterful Garden Room to the Gallery and Tindle Bars. If you’d like to host an outdoor event there are five acres of beautiful grounds to choose from, and a festoon-lit stretch-canopy on the Great Lawn for the perfect outdoor celebrations.
Farnham Castle has a team of talented in-house chefs who create a series of seasonal menus using the best quality, local ingredients. From casual evening dining to interactive food stations, there are an array of menus and styles to choose from.
