About Exclusive Hire (NEW.)
200 Banquet
200 Theatre
200 Standing / Reception
Victorian grandeur meets Norfolk countryside when you take over Bessingham Manor completely for your celebration. We open our entire estate to your party, from the chandelier-lit reception rooms to the 4.5 acres of private grounds, creating your own country house weekend for up to 200 guests. The main reception space showcases everything we love about hosting parties here. Original Victorian moldings frame the high ceilings, while our restored chandelier creates that warm glow perfect for evening celebrations. During summer weddings, sunlight pours through the tall windows, illuminating the neutral walls that work beautifully with any colour scheme you choose. We've watched countless couples exchange vows beneath these ornate ceilings, and corporate groups transform the space from daytime conferences to evening galas. Flexibility defines how we approach exclusive hire. The room accommodates 200 guests whether you're planning banquet-style dining, theatre seating for presentations, or cocktail reception mingling. Our 18th-century red brick manor provides the backdrop, with those distinctive Victorian features creating natural conversation points. Groups often photograph themselves on our grand staircase or gather beneath the chandelier for toasts. Beyond the main space, your exclusive hire includes access to our entire property. The south-facing drawing room becomes a quieter retreat for conversations, while our fully-equipped kitchen with both Aga and electric range handles ambitious catering plans. Twenty-five guests can stay overnight in our bedrooms, most with en-suite facilities, making multi-day celebrations wonderfully convenient. Outside, mature trees shelter the patio areas where we've positioned outdoor seating and gas BBQs. Many parties flow naturally between indoor and outdoor spaces, with marquees or tipis extending your celebration across the lawns. The surrounding Norfolk countryside ensures complete privacy, with wheelchair accessibility throughout and practical amenities including WiFi and PA systems supporting every aspect of your event.
