Tips & Advice
- Arrange a drop-off and collection, because parking is limited on party nights; Capital Cars is the venue's recommended local taxi company.
- Dress to impress in evening or cocktail wear, since t-shirts, blue denim jeans and trainers aren't allowed and guests can be refused entry.
- Leave heavy coats in the free cloakroom on arrival, as the marquee is centrally heated and warm enough for short-sleeved dresses.
- Book early if your group wants to sit together, because tables go first come, first served and weekends fill up early in the year.
- Don't bring your own alcohol, as it's not allowed under any circumstances; get drinks at the main bar, with table service only for bottles of wine.
