Near Southampton sits a manor house with an elegant country setting. We’ve got the low-down on New Place Hotel venue hire for parties, weddings, and meetings.

Christmas is around the corner. It might not feel like it right now, but in the fast-paced world of events St. Nick is rapidly sneaking up on us. There’s nothing worse than leaving your Xmas do ’til the last minute and having to settle. So, that’s why we’re sharing an insider tip to get your bookings in now – if not three weeks ago. And, for organisers in Southampton and the South-East, you’d do well to consider New Place Hotel venue hire.

We love the focus on fine foods and wine at New Place Hotel. With corporate venue hire it’s so important to make your guests feel like they’re getting the best. If you show your team you value them, they will return that value to you – it’s a simple formula. And, at the end of the year, everyone expects a chance to unwind. A good Christmas party is a perfect way to bring everyone closer together… and have some fun along the way.

The Christmas packages here are carefully thought out and play to their strengths. From our experience, the New Place hotel venue hire team can come up with bespoke events without even breaking a sweat.  The executive chef of 10 years, Mark Grieveson, has been lauded for his comforting yet innovative approach to food. For example, he’s been known to craft exciting dishes such as Gin & Tonic battered fish and sesame lollipops. However, the menu remains rooted in classic seasonal produce and provides a truly accomplished dining experience.

A year-round events space

Both in and out of the winter season there’s more than just festivities taking place. Meeting and event spaces are a year-round speciality at New Place Hotel. Given that the site is equipped with 33 high-tech business spaces and is located just a few miles from a major airport, it’s a hub for corporate venue hire.  There’s also a lot of fun on offer for team activity days. A whole host of fully-fledged team activities are on offer with archery, clay pigeon shooting, and – everyone’s favourite – duck herding! And of course, many more conventional options are available, such as cricket on their professional pitch.

Kept to exacting standards, the venue is an attraction in of itself. The building was designed by Edwin Lutyens – described by critics and historians as one of the 20th century’s greatest architects. We enjoyed feeling the heritage showcased throughout the spaces. Moreover, it isn’t hard to imagine hiring the venue out for a wedding. From the manicured lawns to the rich oak-panelled rooms, there are all the ingredients for your perfect day. Furthermore, we doubt your guests would object to the facilities. Luxury rooms, swimming pool, gym, croquet lawn and sauna, anyone? Thanks to some digital magic, you don’t even have to leave it to your imagination. By using their digital 3D tour it’s possible to wander through the rooms yourself, bathed in natural light and decked out with period fittings.
