About this space

The Ballroom is a formal event space within a restored medieval castle, combining generous proportions with historic architectural details.

Design: Tall arched windows bring natural daylight into the long, open room. Timber panelling, polished wooden flooring and warm tones create a traditional interior, while an ornate honeycomb-patterned ceiling adds a distinctive architectural feature.

Features: A grand piano is available for live performances or background music, while a built-in bar serves drinks. The open floor plan allows for flexible seating arrangements, presentations and wedding ceremony layouts.

Ideal for: Conferences, corporate events, wedding ceremonies, receptions, private celebrations and larger seated or standing gatherings.

What sets it apart: The combination of historic castle architecture, an ornate ceiling and a spacious layout provides a distinctive setting for both formal events and celebrations.
