Summer Party Spaces
A summer party at Gorse Hill isn't tied to one fixed room.
Depending on your numbers and the kind of event you're planning, you might book a single space, several connected ones, or the whole property for exclusive use, our events team will build the layout around you rather than the other way round.
Whether your event is hosted in the elegant Mansion House or the contemporary Garden Suite, Gorse Hill offers a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor spaces.
The historic Mansion House provides character filled lounges, private dining spaces and a south facing terrace overlooking the gardens, making it ideal for smaller gatherings, networking events and summer drinks receptions.
For larger celebrations, the Garden Suite offers a spacious function room with its own private bar, lounge and terrace, creating a natural flow between the indoors and the surrounding gardens.
Guests can move easily between the stylish interior and the outdoor spaces, making it perfect for summer parties, drinks receptions and evening celebrations.
The Garden Suite also features a sparkling white dance floor, giving you everything you need for a memorable event.
Whichever space is best suited to your event, you'll enjoy easy access to Gorse Hill's beautiful grounds, allowing guests to make the most of the Surrey countryside throughout your celebration.
