Home to the Spencer family since 1508, Althorp brings 500 years of history to life. Once the scene of courtly balls, political meetings and even secret marriages, each intriguing room in the house provides an inspirational backdrop for modern events – whether it’s a banquet for two-hundred in the 115-foot Picture Gallery, a relaxed afternoon tea by the fire in the Library or a major board meeting in the regal surroundings of The Great Room. Large, atmospheric spaces, such as the Saloon with its grand oak staircase or the Marlborough Room with its ornate chandeliers and silverware, provide a dream setting for civil ceremonies for up to 160 people or champagne receptions for up to 250 people, while the smaller, more intimate Ante or Sunderland Rooms make perfect break-out areas after meetings – or a comfortable after-dinner retreat for parties of all sizes. With all these unique spaces at your disposal, the choice is yours.
