Hampton Court Palace

Marquee builds in the palace's own grounds and courtyards, on the East Front, in Base Court and in Fountain Court. Clear-span structures are built to the event, with build and de-rig days either side of the evening.

The formal gardens on the palace's east side, laid out on the axis of the Long Water and used as a marquee site for gala dinners, summer parties and receptions. The setting used on screen in Bridgerton and Wolf Hall.

Wren's baroque courtyard at the centre of the palace, built around its fountain and ringed by covered cloisters. Guests move between the colonnade and the open court, which is used for standing receptions, dinner dances and evening entertainment.

A marquee site within the palace grounds, taken on its own or alongside the neighbouring gardens for larger builds.

The Tudor and baroque courtyards at the heart of the palace, used for marquee builds and open-air receptions with evening access through the gates.

The second courtyard, where Anne Boleyn's Gateway and the sixteenth-century astronomical clock face Wren's colonnade. Used for drinks receptions before guests move into the State Apartments.

Henry VIII's hall, finished in the 1530s and little changed since, under a hammer-beam ceiling hung with Tudor tapestries. The palace's headline room for gala dinners, awards evenings and large receptions.

A secluded marquee site inside the formal gardens, screened by ornamental trees and planting. Taken for garden parties, drinks receptions and daytime gatherings.

The largest Georgian room in the palace, named for the Raphael Cartoons that hang along its panelled walls, with windows onto Fountain Court. Long enough to seat two hundred and light enough to work by day.

The palace's only contemporary space, a 1920s-style orangery opening onto a walled garden kept for the event alone. It has its own bar and terrace, in-house furniture and audio-visual equipment, and is the one room here that can run a party on its own into the late hours.

William III's private greenhouse, with a chequerboard floor and statuary, opening straight onto the Privy Garden. Receptions are held inside; dining is permitted in the garden itself, weather allowing.

Henry VIII's beer cellar beneath the Great Hall, vaulted in brick and lit however you choose to light it. The palace's room for after-parties, live music and dancing, taken with Base Court as its reception area.

Reached by the King's Staircase, its walls hung with the arms of the royal guard arranged in patterns. A striking room for standing receptions, private dining and evening entertaining.

A tall, pale room in the State Apartments with a run of arched windows and a chandelier, kept for drinks receptions rather than dining.

Once the ceremonial entrance to the Tudor court and the guardroom between the Great Hall and the king's rooms. Tapestried and richly ceilinged, it works as the reception space for a Great Hall dinner or as a dining room of its own.

A riverside pavilion in the palace grounds with a Baroque painted interior and its own private garden and terrace. Available for daytime hire, standalone or alongside a larger evening in the palace.

Where William III entertained the court at close quarters, hung with tapestries and lit by a chandelier. The smallest of the State Apartment dining rooms.
