The Stone Hall, named for its flagstones made from York stone, is where King Henry VIII had a 35-course banquet when visiting West Horsley Place in 1536. Classical in style, the Stone Hall has a light and elegant atmosphere for receptions or dinners.
Capacity up to 100 people.

West Horsley Place is home to the remarkable Crewe Book Collection (much of which has now been donated to Trinity College, Cambridge) which forms our atmospheric library. Floor-to-ceiling bookcases, antique furniture and medieval wall arches (complete with witches’ marks) have made this room a favourite with filmmakers.
Capacity for up to 40 guests.
Place Farm Barn is a Grade II listed converted and restored double height barn. With polished concrete floors complementing the exposed brick, and modern heating and technical facilities, it is rustic yet supremely comfortable.
Capacity for up to 150 guests.
Our 5 acres of formal walled gardens were laid out in 1710 and feature the rare and beautiful crinkle-crankle serpentine wall, as well as a charming and spacious walled orchard. The gardens offer a variety of possible locations for marquees of any size.
Thanks for all your help putting on what everyone seems to agree, was the party of the year! I loved every minute of it and we are very lucky to have a large venue right on our doorstep.

I chose West Horsley Place for my celebration due to the beautiful stone hall, the gardens and its connection with one of my and my family's favourite television shows. We organised a "Ghosts" themed day with decorations to match. In the afternoon Elisa, one of the volunteers, gave Filming Tours to my guests and we arranged a murder mystery set-up in various rooms of the house. The venue was perfect for me and the guests have told me the same, with the house and gardens making for a relaxed day. Everyone was comfortable, which was what I was aiming for"

A big thank you from Stephen and me for our splendid day at West Horsley Place yesterday. It really felt special and couldn’t have been more relaxed for us. Thank you for letting the kids see the bear on the stair and for accommodating Flora in her cot. All our guests were hugely complimentary about the house and garden. Thank you again for making it a special day.
