Hatfield House Hospitality

The magnificent Tudor Old Palace, built in 1485, was the childhood home of Elizabeth I and where she held her first Council of State. It is one of the foremost examples of mediaeval brickwork in the country, and with its original wood beams, your guests will be surrounded in history. The Tapestry, elegantly hanging in the Old Palace, is a replica of the original 'Devonshire Hunting Series', which you can now find in the Victoria and Albert Museum.

The stunning and open Knot Garden, attached to the Old Palace, is based on Elizabethan patterns, and provides exquisite photo opportunities for both weddings and corporate events. The Raised Lawn is perfect for outdoor blessings, drinks receptions, and lawn games, with breath-taking views of Hatfield House, home to Lord and Lady Salisbury who reside there today. For warmer weather, the Knot Garden is ideal for summer celebrations such as BBQ’s, hog roasts, and food stations – the perfect corporate party.

The Old Palace can accommodate large events on long or round banqueting tables, and space for a DJ and dancefloor. Our spacious bar is attached to the room, meaning guests do not have to wonder far for drinks, and is the perfect area to add additional entertainment such as photobooths.

Hatfield House is a renowned filming location for blockbuster hits such as Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, Batman Begins, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, and Netflix productions such as The Crown, The Great, and Bridgerton.
