A dramatic, unique space, with a soaring double hammer beam roof, this is one of the finest examples of an Elizabethan Hall in the country. Perfect for everything from gala dinners to a keynote address, the versatility of the Hall can lend itself to any occasion. The ornate Minstrel’s Gallery looks down on the tables below, and the stained glass windows and heraldic panels that line the walls depict the coats of arms of the Middle Templars throughout history. Easily accessible from the other rooms, the Hall makes for a memorable and impressive centre point for a corporate conference.
There is a long tradition of celebrations taking place in the Hall, in particular the Christmas Revels which still live on today, although in a somewhat better behaved form. Famously, in 1602, the first recorded performance of Twelfth Night took place as part of this tradition, with Shakespeare himself in attendance.
