Frequently asked questions

How do I find out more?

Please contact Hannah Bibby our experienced venue assistant, by either telephone or email.  Hannah  would be delighted to discuss your requirements in further detail.

How can I arrange a visit?

Hengrave Hall is a privately owned venue and it is not open to the public.  Viewing is therefore arranged by personal  appointment only or you may visit without an appointment on one of our Wedding Viewing Days.  Please contact Hannah Bibby for more information.

What are the catering arrangements at Hengrave Hall and can I bring my own caterer?

We have an exclusive partnership with Talbooth Catering who cater for all events at Hengrave Hall.  Talbooth Catering have been selected for their quality and excellent service which perfectly reflects the venue.  Their award winning chefs will ensure that you and your guests experience only the finest that this region has to offer. 

Do you allow a corkage arrangement at Hengrave Hall?

Talbooth Catering can provide a wide selection of wines to suit all tastes and budgets and we will always try to accommodate any specific requests.  Although we do not allow corkage we can provide pay bar facilities if required.

Can I get married in the Church?

This will depend on your christian denomination.  We are able to hold Roman Catholic, Methodist, Baptist or United Reform marriages in the Church provided that you fulfill the necessary religious requirements. 

We are currently unable to hold Church of England weddings in the Church at the present time however we can accommodate wedding blessings and these are usually preceded by a civil ceremony in the Hall. 

We are currently in discussions with the Church of England to find out whether it would be possible to hold Church of England weddings in the Church and as soon as there is any change we will, of course, let you know.  Please contact Hannah Bibby for further information.   

When should I contract the registrar/clergy?

We strongly recommend that you contact the registrar/clergy at the same time as you book your venue to confirm their availability and specific requirements.  

Do you have accommodation available at Hengrave Hall?

We have sixteen magnificent bedrooms at Hengrave Hall which are only be available to those attending a function at Hengrave Hall.  There are ten bedrooms in the Hall itself and six ensuite bedrooms in the pretty walled garden just a few steps away from the Hall. 

Can you recommend any local taxi companies?

Please contact Hannah for a list of local taxi companies.  As Hengrave Hall is situated in a rural location we would strongly recommend that taxis are booked in advance.

Do you allow fireworks and Chinese lanterns?

We do allow fireworks provided that they are provided by Fully Fused Fireworks one of our recommended suppliers.  As Hengrave Hall is grade 1 listed and due to the proximity of thatched properties locally unfortunately we are unable to allow the use of Chinese lanterns.

Do you allow candles?

Candles are permitted in the Church and in the gardens (provided that this is discussed at an early stage) however unfortunately we are unable to allow candles inside Hengrave Hall itself.  However, the use of electrical LED tealights is permitted inside and these do look fantastic.
