Parlor at Rita House

About this space

Parlor, an Event Space in Rita House, is a historic sitting room defined by tall leaded windows that flood the space with natural light and a blend of period detailing and contemporary lounge seating.

Design: The room has high beamed ceilings, decorative woodwork and tiled floors that combine with area rugs and plaster walls to create a layered, residential character. The carved staircase and ornate window frames emphasise the room's historic proportions while modern lounge furniture keeps the layout informal.

Features: The Parlor provides Wi‑Fi, an in‑room PA system and wheelchair‑accessible entry. The space is furnished with modular sofas and moveable tables that allow flexible layouts, and a baby grand piano is available for performances; venue staff can assist with production and set‑up.

Ideal for: Creative teams and small cultural groups seeking an intimate, relaxed lounge that supports seated socialising, presentations and light performance.

What sets it apart: A mezzanine gallery overlooks the Parlor, providing elevated sightlines and an adjacent breakout area separate from the main floor.

What guests say: The Parlor has attentive on‑site support and an adaptable, characterful interior suited to filming and live performance. The Parlor's baby grand piano delivers strong sound for concerts and recitals.
