THE finishing touches are now being made to The Orangery, the spectacular new building at historic Rushton Hall.
After years in the planning, The Orangery, which will seat up to 300 people, promises to be a wonderful addition to the magnificent Grade I listed Four Red Star Hotel which stands in 25 acres of grounds.
The development marks a new era for the hotel which is already the only venue in the county to boast a Three Rosette Restaurant.
The planning process has taken more than ten years and has the support of Historic England who have backed the decision to replace the current Pavilion with The Orangery, designed to blend effortlessly with the original building.
Head of Sales and Marketing Tom Gilbert said: “We have taken many years to get to this stage but we believe the new stately rooms will be well worth the wait. There are few other venues with this capacity in the Midlands and none can boast such a fantastic location.”
Meticulous attention to the finer details will ensure the design of The Orangery can be used for a wide range of events. Alongside traditional weddings and conferences, the space will appeal to organisers of product launches, music and one-off events.
While the development project is under way the venue’s experienced team continue to welcome guests who want to make the most of the facilities.
Tom said: “Now that we are on the finishing straight of The Orangery there is no disruption to our guests and they can expect to receive our same high standard of service.”
The facilities at the venue, once the home of Francis Tresham who played a key role in the Gunpowder Plot, include The Stableyard Spa. The Spa with its stunning pool, indoor and outdoor spas, steam room, fitness suite and treatment rooms is a perfect place to unwind.
Tom said: “We are already very proud of what Rushton Hall has to offer and the opening of this spectacular new building will further enhance our guests’ experience and mean even more people can discover and enjoy this amazing venue.”
