About this space

Conservatory — a glass-roofed event room in The Alwyne Castle characterised by continuous wall-height glazing that provides abundant natural daylight.

Design: The interior pairs patterned ceramic-style floor tiles with dark-painted timber details and a mix of wooden tables and floral-upholstered chairs. The room runs long and narrow and is lit by a row of warm string lights and brass pendant fittings.

Features: The room includes a built-in PA system and speakers and allows hosts to play their own music or bring a DJ. The space provides Wi‑Fi and movable tables and chairs to create seated or standing layouts. The room has step-free guest access and accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Smaller groups seeking a relaxed, social seated dinner or a casual standing reception in a bright, informal pub setting.

What sets it apart: A private doorway opens from the conservatory directly into the venue's beer garden.

What guests say: The conservatory has hosted wedding receptions and is noted for helpful, attentive event staff. The conservatory's fixed glazing can make the room uncomfortably hot on warm days.

Everything was amazing! Communication with the team was super fast and helpful from the start — they made the whole planning process really easy. On the day of the event, the staff were incredibly supportive, helping us move things around and making sure everything ran smoothly. The Conservatory Area is spacious and perfect for hosting creative events, plus it’s really easy to get to. The bartenders were so friendly and quick, and the overall vibe was just great. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better venue — would 100% recommend and definitely host here again!

Great location for a birthday party for 40 people. Easy to book with only a deposit which turned into a bar tab. Staff were so lovely, friendly and helpful.

The staff were brilliant! Super responsive in the lead up and extremely helpful on the day. I also liked how easy it was to book and organise food for the group. I also loved how the space was separate from the rest of the pub, so I could easily engage with my guests!

Nothing. Everything was brilliant!
