Columbine Hall

The west barn is an old and traditional timber-framed Suffolk barn clad in black painted timber boards. Inside, its soaring roof and ancient beams are emphasised by uplighters round the floor and concealed spotlights at ceiling level. It is nearly 16m long with a floor area of approx 105 square metres. It will hold 90 people seated at round tables, 120 at rectangular tables or up to 150 for cocktails or buffets. The barn is reached through an old fashiond walled vegetable garden and beyond it, through a pair of large glazed doors, is a half moon shaped lawn which can be used for drinks in the summer or for further seating capacity (up to 80) in a marquee. An adjoining kitchen (approx 15 square metres) is equipped with a large caterer's fridge, a double-drainer double sink, hand washbasin and electric sockets (but no cooker).

There is car parking space for 50 cars (or more by arrangement).
