On the day the venue looked beautiful, the food was great and everyone generally had an amazing time. I would highly recommend this as a wedding venue. We had 126 adults and 16 kids to the day - the running around space for the kids was invaluable.

- BBell29/07/2023A fabulous day.A fabulous day.We have just returned from celebrating my daughter's wedding which was held in King's Hall and Winter Garden, and would like to thank Laura and her team for a fabulous day. Everything was well organised, from allowing us to use the venue for flower arranging the day before, to the ceremony and reception, and the evening reception. King's Hall is a lovely old theatre and the connecting Winter Gardens a treat - a balcony running around the top, a stunning glass roof.We have just returned from celebrating my daughter's wedding which was held in King's Hall and Winter Garden, and would like to thank Laura and her team for a fabulous day.
