About Downham Hall

Downham Hall is located in the stunning Essex countryside and is a family-run hotel and events venue packed to the brim with countryside charm, history and beauty. There are gorgeous rooms to stay overnight in, a fantastic restaurant, and plenty of rooms that are suitable for events of all occasions. If you’re planning something special, whether that’s a celebration of life, dinner with friends, conference or anything in between, then you should take a good look at Downham Hall.

The team at Downham Hall have planned everything you can think of, from birthday and anniversary celebrations to award ceremonies, charity balls, christenings, baptisms and school proms. Because of this, you'll be placed in some of the best hands when booking events at Downham Hall, and get to work with experienced planners. The Marquee is one of the event spaces, and is situated in the part-moated gardens with captivating views across the rolling countryside. This semi-outdoor space features a custom built bar and lounge seating area, fairy lights, a dance floor with a starlit ceiling canopy, and glamorous chandeliers. Imagine this billowing marquee in the summer, light and airy during the daytime where you serve afternoon tea and dainty sandwiches, or in the dark of night, as your guests dance the night away.

The De Beauvoir Suite is located in the main venue, and is one of two function rooms that is better suited to more intimate events, with 25 to 36 able to be seated in this charming, cosy space. The Orangery is the other of the main venue's intimate event spaces, and Downham Hall's smallest, with a capacity of 10 to 24 guests. Whatever the nature of your event hire at Downham Hall, you can also enquire about team building activities, accommodation, and video conferencing tech.
