A Historic Setting
Hosted in one of our restored heritage rooms, afternoon tea has never been more grand. As the largest room in Ashridge House, Repton Hall has played host to many different events such as, galas, balls, award ceremonies, banquets and weddings.
The Lady Marian Alford room was originally used as a drawing room, and boasts fluted columns of rose serpentine marble, marble fireplaces and an elaborate ceiling richly decorated in gold leaf.
