Maybe you're aware of a local town hall, old committee room, member's club which would work? Are you related to a rich aristocrat who’d enjoy this sort of thing?

Hi Simon
Not sure what you're imagining exactly but there's a place outside Henley called St Katherines, Parmoor which belongs to teh Sue Ryder Trust we used to use for church weekends away. Obviously they'll charge but they had quite large ornate rooms overlooking country grounds, particularly their entranceway is spacious.

Hello Bob,
That's great. I just googled it and yes its the sort of thing we were looking for. The catering hall especially. I'll contact them and see what they think. Thanks for taking the time.
Cheers
Simon

Hello Simon,
Just thinking of some options...Gaddesden Hall (Hemel Hempstead) and perhaps Nether Winchendon House (Nr.Aylesbury)
Good luck
