Fairfax House can also be hired for a reception, corporate event or meeting.

The Saloon offers you a perfect backdrop for any of these events and can comfortably accommodate 50-70 guests. Alternatively the room can be configured for 50 guests seated for an auditorium style event or for 20 in a board table arrangement.

Wine and canapés, finger buffet or tea, coffee and biscuits if you prefer, can all be arranged. (Buffet menu choices and a range of canapés are available on request).

You may like to also consider including a private tour of the house and access to one of the changing exhibitions that the museum features throughout the year.
