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.
