venue description
Set in 14 acres with beautifully refurbished Grade I listed buildings and vast grounds, Parkstead House is able to accommodate small meetings, large conferences, receptions, dinner dances, marquees - the possibilities are endless!
The main house is a Georgian villa which was designed for the second Earl of Bessborough in the 1760s by Sir William Chambers, who was also the architect for Somerset House and the Pagoda at Kew Gardens. Inside the House the suite of five Chambers Rooms still retain many of their original features including decorated fireplaces and ornamental ceilings. These rooms, which overlook Richmond Park, are ideal for business meetings, lunches, cocktail receptions and formal dinners.
In 1861, a beautiful chapel was added with majestic domed ceilings, arches and pillars. Now renamed the Manresa Hall, it is a unique venue for accommodating receptions, buffets, dinner dances and meetings. The site also boasts two beautiful outdoor courtyards which can be used in conjunction with other rooms.
For conferences, this venue has two state-of-the-art tiered lecture theatres and a number of fully-equipped seminar rooms. Delegates can relax in a modern dining room with a decking area which allows al fresco dining or in a stylish bar - both with stunning Park views.
This venue is also suitable for wedding receptions and has a choice of six elegant rooms for civil ceremonies and partnerships, as well as sweeping staircases, balconies and courtyards which offer beautiful settings for photographs.
Parkstead House is located just outside central London between Richmond Park and Wimbledon. The site has easy access either by car, train or bus as it is situated just off the A3. Free parking is available on site.
