If you're researching the best venues to host a party, event or corporate function in Northhamptonshire, be sure not to miss out Rushton Hall. This glamorous four-star hotel and sumptuous spa has it all; an impressive history spanning centuries, award-winning fine dining restaurant and a whole host of event spaces, big and small.
First off, let's set the scene: no matter the event type, you'll want to impress your guests and a sprawling, Elizabethan manor ought to do it. This place is breath-taking with a stone facade, dramatic windows and spanning grounds all around. Thanks to its size, Rushton Hall has a whopping nine event space options which vary from smaller private dining rooms for intimate dinners, to party-ready wings with enough room for 500 people.
Starting with the largest, The Orangery is just as gorgeous as it sounds, crafted from pale, golden stone and with huge, arched windows and doors that fill the space with light. Positioned just next to Rushton Hall, The Orangery is made up of a ball room, state room and picture gallery, all of which can be brought together with a capacity of 500 people. If you're going big, here's where to do it.
Next up, try The Ballroom which also has a capacity of 500 people (standing) and 160 for seated banquets. Think delicately-patterned carpets, beige, velvet furniture, creamy walls and pretty chandliers - it's a classic, traditional backdrop for balls, corporate away days, parties and more.
For cocktails and canapes, The Cellar Bar beats out the rest as a James Bond-worthy, underground wine cellar-turned-bar complete with vaulted ceiling. It feels like a secet hideaway and would be an ambient setting for networking drinks or a warm up act ahead of dinner.
With 51 bedrooms, the great thing about organising an event at Rushton Hall is that you can work with the team and organise bedrooms for your guests, meaning that the party can go on until late and no one has to worry about getting home. Why not make a few days of it, with actvities spread over a few days, a trip to the spa and farewell breakfast all together? It'll certainly make your event one for the books.
