About Private party hire/Function Room/Whole Venue
120 Standing / Reception
The Private Party Hire space at Rotunda brings together everything we love about our 1929 building, those original Italianate columns, the arched windows overlooking Preston Park's Rose Garden, and a circular layout that somehow makes every gathering feel both grand and intimate. We've hosted countless celebrations here, from 50th birthday parties that spill onto the terrace to wedding receptions where guests dance until midnight under our ambient ceiling lights. Our wooden floors have seen decades of dancing feet, and the high ceilings with their soft lighting create an atmosphere that shifts beautifully from afternoon gatherings to evening celebrations. The space holds up to 120 guests comfortably when set up reception-style, though we often arrange it differently depending on what you have in mind. Some groups prefer our leather sofas pulled together for relaxed mingling, others want the classic wooden chairs arranged around tables for sit-down meals. What makes parties work so well here is how the room transforms. During afternoon celebrations, natural light pours through those large arched windows, giving everything a warm glow. Come evening, we adjust the mood lighting to create something more intimate, perfect for toasts and dancing. The circular design means there's no bad spot in the room, everyone feels part of the celebration. We cater to those celebrating their 30th birthdays and beyond, plus anniversaries, wedding receptions, retirement parties, and even wakes where families want somewhere special to gather. Our kitchen can prepare buffet spreads to match your event, from hearty traditional options to lighter fare, always including vegan and gluten-free choices. The bar stays open until midnight, and we know plenty of local bands who understand exactly how to work with our acoustics if you want live music. Being right by Preston Park means your guests have easy transport links, and that view across the Rose Garden gives everyone something beautiful to admire between conversations.
