Opening on to a courtyard where drinks can be served, the Woodside Suite can accommodate up to 120 guests for a ceremony and wedding breakfast or 150 for an evening party. It features a dance floor with a slightly raised stage, ideal for a live band or disco, and the bar along the back wall means your guests won’t have far to go for a drink.
Woodland Receptions
If you fancy an outdoor, woodland setting for your reception or evening party, Greenwood is an ideal place for a laidback marquee celebration.
