Ingatestone Hall provides a peaceful and relaxing setting for conferences and seminars of all kinds, particularly if you are looking for something less stark and soulless than the conventional conference centre.  Corporate away-days, seminars and presentations for clients and committee meetings are among the formats that can be accommodated.

We do insist that any extra catering required is provided only by one of the Recommended Suppliers we approve.  As far as marquee contractors, entertainers etc., you are free to choose the ones you want and a list of suggested Recommended Suppliers is availiable.

There are five principal rooms inside the house and four main areas in the gardens and grounds that are available for your use, either individually or in combination. 

See the Plans and Maps of the house and grounds and Spaces available for a description. 

In addition to the rooms illustrated, there are another six welcoming, smaller rooms which can be used for break-out sessions or displays.
It is possible on these pages only to give only a broad impression of the many ways in which the house and its grounds can be used; you are cordially invited to make an appointment for a free tour of the facilities on offer and a chance to soak up their special atmosphere.  All hirings are subject to our standard conditions.  Please see our Conditions of Hire.  The premises are licensed for live music and for the consumption of alcohol.
