The Garter Suite commands attention from the moment you enter through its grand doorway. This is where 16th-century craftsmanship meets contemporary conference needs, with soaring ceilings and intricately detailed walls that have witnessed centuries of important gatherings. Rich burgundy curtains frame tall windows overlooking our castle grounds, while natural light illuminates the ornate period features throughout the day. We've carefully preserved every historical detail while ensuring the room functions perfectly for modern meetings. The space adapts effortlessly to your requirements, whether you're arranging 50 delegates around our boardroom table, setting up classroom style for 60, or filling all 150 theatre seats for a major presentation. For banquets, we can accommodate 144 guests amongst the grandeur, or configure the room in U-shape for 50 participants when you need everyone engaged in discussion. The Garter Suite connects directly to the Waterford Room, where many of our clients serve refreshments or host buffet lunches between sessions. When you need additional space for networking, we often open up the Vanburgh Bar as well, creating a natural flow between formal presentations and informal conversations. The combination works particularly well for full-day conferences or training events. Our location in Chester-le-Street puts you within easy reach of major transport links, with the River Wear visible from the castle and Durham County Cricket Ground nearby for those familiar with the area. The suite itself occupies one of the castle's most impressive state rooms, where medieval architecture provides an inspiring backdrop that sets your meeting apart from typical corporate venues. We find the historical atmosphere often sparks creativity and engagement amongst delegates, making even routine meetings feel more significant.
