Breakfast Meetings

Looking for an exciting and new experience to start off your working day? Hire one of the historic rooms at Penshurst Place for a breakfast meeting and have the opportunity to view the Gardens and House before it opens for the day to the public. Meetings for up to 16 delegates can be accommodated in our intimate stone Buttery, or for larger parties our Sunderland Room suits up to 32 delegates.

amed after Lady Dorothy Sidney, who married the Earl of Sunderland in the 17th century, the Sunderland Room is situated on the upper floor, with access to the Minstrels’ Gallery that overlooks the Baron’s Hall. This is a charming room, ideal for meetings, lunches, formal dinners and office Christmas dining. Today fine portraits from the family collection hang on the part-panelled and part-sandstone walls and the room has a light but mellow atmosphere, enhanced by a fire in the winter. The room can be partitioned by a heavy curtain to create two smaller spaces - ideal for a break-out space or a separate area for catering. A popular choice, it can seat up to 90 guests for dining, 32 boardroom style or 120 theatre style. 
Completed in 1341, the Baron’s Hall is the main feature of the original House, its towering beamed roof, original gothic windows and lit candelabras will delight your guests the moment they enter, providing an ideal backdrop for events with character and class. The hall can accommodate up to 250 guests for standing receptions and up to 150 for seated dining.
