Our spaces
Leighton designed his house with entertaining in mind, which is why it is the perfect venue for hosting evening drinks receptions. We offer two options to choose from depending on your guestlist.
The Arab Hall
The Arab Hall reception is for up to 80 guests and includes all rooms on the ground floor. These are the dining room, drawing room and of course the Arab Hall, based on the 12th-century palace of La Zisa, Palermo, lined with Leighton’s priceless collection of Iznik tiles.
The Whole House
The Whole House reception has all the benefits of the Arab Hall reception but allows guests to also move upstairs to enjoy the Silk room, where Leighton housed his collection of other artists paintings, and the studio, where he created his most famous works.
Capacity
The Arab Hall – Up to 80 guests
Whole House – Up to 150 guests

Arab Hall reception: Venue hire £3,600 + VAT, with catering packages available upon request
Whole House reception: Venue hire £4,600 + VAT, with catering packages available upon request
