As well as hosting our own courses and workshops, our venue is regularly hired for external events. These include courses, workshops, retreats, children’s parties, staff away days, school, college and university residential visits and the occasional wedding.

 

You can tailor the venue hire to your event. You can choose which space or spaces you want and how long you want them for, whether it is the Pine Hall for a few hours, half the house including the Old Library for the weekend, or the whole house for a week.

 

If you are planning a course, then booking Monkton Wyld Court as a venue affords you the opportunity to set your own charges for participants, monitor bookings as they occur and allocate rooms to best suit your group. We provide accommodation for up to 37 people in the house, four camping pitches and full-board catering.

 

Half-house venue hire is for groups of up to 20 people and includes shared use of the Visitor’s Dining Room, Piano Room and outside space. Whole house venue hire is from 20 – 37 people and includes use of The Old Library, the Visitors Dining Room, Piano Room, and our outside guest spaces all to yourselves.

 

The largest and most popular of the spaces is the Pine Hall, just outside the main house. This measures 13m x 7m and has a stage with a piano and a sprung wooden floor suitable for dancing. The second is the Old Library on the ground floor of the main house, overlooking the terraces. No longer active as a library, this measures 8.5m x 6m and is a light, elegant and almost-empty room with a large bay window. Both spaces come pre-heated when needed by cosy wood-burning stoves, have adjacent toilets, and can be furnished with cushions or chairs/tables for seating and/or working.

 

We can also cater for other large events such as weddings and we have our own marquee that measures 30m x 30m and can be extended if need be along with a modest PA system. When we host a wedding we only like to do so if it is going to be as low-impact and eco-friendly as possible. We also do not plan weddings for guests so if you did choose this option you would just be renting the space.

 

There are also plenty of other things that we have on-site, such as a fully equipped wood and metal workshop, and a walled organic garden. Not to mention our old rope swing and newly installed adults-size see-saw.

 

We also have an isolated rentable property called The Wyld Lodge which can often be perfect for something like a wedding, You can see more about that here.
