Private functions
An exceptional venue for receptions, conferences, or parties
Danson House is a fine Palladian villa that was built by Sir John Boyd for his young bride Catherine Chapone. Danson was built as a suite of rooms for entertaining by a man besotted with his new wife and the layout and interiors reflect themes of love and enjoyment, from the garlands and decoration above the front door to the Pavillon wall paintings in the dining room.The rooms on the bedroom floor, with wonderful views over the surrounding parkland, are fully equipped for meetings and presentations. Four spaces offer scope for plenary sessions and smaller workshop sessions.
On the principal floor, up to 50 can be seated for lunch or dinner in the Dining Room or Library. Alternatively use all the rooms for a drinks reception for up to 130 people, inviting your guests to wander around the principal floor enjoying the magnificently restored period features.
Our own in house caterers or our selected range of outside caterers will be happy to provide canapés, lunch or dinner. Tea coffee and biscuits can also be provided for meeting delegates.
The Breakfast Room, on the terrace level, leads out to the gardens to the rear of the house, presenting an opportunity to move more easily from house to garden. The terrace behind the house with its views over the lake is an ideal venue for a summer drinks reception.
The house is a Grade 1 listed building, which offers an unusual and stunning venue for meetings, conferences or parties. Function bookings can be taken year round on days when the house is not open to the public.
