Banqueting House<br />

Intended for the splendour and exuberance of court masques,<br />

the Banqueting House is probably most famous for one real life<br />

drama: the execution of Charles I which took place here in 1649.<br />

The grandeur of the Main Hall creates a glittering backdrop for any occasion.<br />

The sweeping staircase which leads up to this fabulous room allows guests<br />

to make a dramatic entrance; then the first sight of the magnificent ceiling<br />

painting by Peter Paul Rubens will provide a talking point all evening. A flexible<br />

venue, over 375 guests can dine in comfort at the Banqueting House, or enjoy<br />

a fashion show, cocktail reception or concert.<br />

The beautiful white-painted vaults beneath the Main Hall were a favourite<br />

haunt of James I. Today the Undercroft can be used as a grand reception<br />

area for pre-dinner drinks or as an intimate venue in its own right.
