“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.”
Baby Showers & Christenings
To celebrate a new baby’s arrival, gather friends and family together for an afternoon tea party at Holdsworth House.
From £18.95 (plus £50 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.
The Abraham Brigg Room is a ground floor room for large afternoon tea events. 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 dining for up to four people.

From £30.00 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.
