“We booked a Winter Ball with drinks reception and three-course meal for 65 guests... The venue is fantastic the food was superb and staff polite and helpful.”
Bridal / Baby Showers
To celebrate a forthcoming marriage or a baby’s imminent arrival, gather friends and family together for an afternoon tea party at Holdsworth House.
From £19.95 (plus room hire charge) we can allocate you a fabulous private dining room. We can add some simple decorations or you can dress the room yourselves with as much colour-coded bunting and balloons as you wish. You’ll have enough sandwiches, pretty homemade patisserie treats and refreshing tea to feed all your guests, but there's plenty more we can do to make it extra special.

Private Dining Rooms
The Ayrton Room was originally a first floor bedroom. The Beatles slept here in 1964 and Jayne Mansfield in 1967. The De Aldworth Room next door is where the Fab Four and Brian Epstein took room service on John Lennon’s 24th birthday. These two small party rooms are ideal for 10-20 family and friends when you want to get together
The Abraham Brigg Room is a ground-floor room for afternoon tea events and wedding ceremonies. It can host up to 80 for a wedding ceremony or 20 - 50 for an afternoon tea gathering. The Stuart Room - the main banqueting suite - has a private bar, cloakroom facilities, dance floor and adjoining Colonnade Courtyard for events up to 150 guests.
The Gazebo, beside the sunken Parterre garden, is a small room for totally unique space for private dining for up to four people.
Arrange a free show round to see the rooms for yourself and to discuss your event and private dining room hire prices with an expert party planner.

From £30 per person for three courses choose from the Holdsworth House Pie Collection, Classic Host a Roast or the Ultimate Tasting Menu – there is something for all tastes and budgets.
Afternoon tea remains a popular choice for parties too and can be seasonally adapted to suit your event. Start with handmade canapés or a drinks reception - whatever your plans, we have plenty of ideas we can share.
