This beautiful Palladian mansion was built in 1776-83 by John Carr for Francis Sykes, who made his fortune in India. The interior is notable for its original delicate plasterwork and elegant staircase as well as the unusual Octagon Room. After falling on hard times the house was restored by Lord and Lady Iliffe during the last century. Waymarked trails through parkland.

What Our Clients Say

I have used ‘Function Fixers’ now on many occasions and they are my go-to for literally any event I need help with organising. Heather is an absolute superstar who is always there to help and goes above and beyond to find me the perfect venue and make sure it is a smooth transition from start to finish.

I would highly recommend them to anyone and am so thankful to have found the company…absolute life and time savers, and certainly ‘fixers’!!

I've been working with Carrie for the past 2-3 months to finalise a venue for a 250pax conference we are hosting next year. She was exceptional in putting forward appropriate suggestions and even better at managing our changing requests and circumstances. Nothing was too much trouble. We have just signed on a venue and we are delighted. Highly recommend!

I contacted Function Fixers and was lucky enough to speak directly with Carrie. I needed a venue for a large corporate event I was planning. Carrie was fantastic from start to finish and so helpful... and very patient! My events are run quarterly and I will definitely be using their services again. Highly recommend!

Carrie has been amazing to work with over the past 2 years. She's been really flexible and understanding with our always changing briefs due to the pandemic. We've finally managed to book in our venue for our next conference and we're really excited!
