Rich in history and culture, Lauderdale House counts Nell Gwynn, Charles II and Samuel Pepys among its distinguished visitors. As you traverse the galleries, keep an eye out for beautiful period features including original beams, Georgian columns, sash windows, brick fireplaces, a bas relief and an eighteenth century cupola, among other treasures.
Though the building is filled with historic charm, our 2017 renovation has given us contemporary amenities including a lift and modern toilets for your guests.
Lauderdale House partners with Pink Food, our in-house catering company, to deliver a delicious culinary experience. All food is prepared and delivered fresh from the kitchen, using the highest quality produce from local suppliers. This approach has brought Pink Food to the very top of the industry, with a reputation for quality at every level.
Our Events Manager and Pink Food’s Event Director will work together to assist you in planning your big day, paying attention to the smallest details for a seamless experience for you and your guests. Alongside the day-of catering staff, we will have a minimum of two stewards on hand to set up and pack down your event, ensuring your special day runs smoothly.
Lauderdale House is a flexible arts space, with exhibitions by local artists adorning our Lower and Upper Galleries. While we think the House is beautiful as is, you are more than welcome to bring in flowers, bunting and free-standing decorations to reflect your unique style and vision.
We have trestle tables, bistro tables, chairs, fairy lights in the Long Gallery, a projector and screen, easels for signage / photo boards, and a microphone and small speaker for speeches, all on site. You can also hire in furniture, uplighters, etc if you prefer.
Did you know Lauderdale House is a registered charity? Lauderdale House runs as an arts and education centre, and the income made from weddings is invested back into the House to preserve the building’s unique heritage, offer low-cost and free cultural and creative activities for our local community and run our weekly youth programme.
