Parties, Celebrations and Occasions
Jane Austen

For smaller, private parties with family and/or friends, the Jane Austen* fits the bill. Centrally located on the college campus, just behind Saxony Hall, this attractive venue, with its unusual pagoda-style architecture, has large French Windows on one side of the room, leading out into the garden, through which the bride can make her big entrance if she wishes, or through which the whole party can exit after the ceremony, for photographs.

Jane Austen is set in lush landscaped gardens containing mature trees and shrubs, and seats up to 65 guests at a civil wedding ceremony. For your Wedding Breakfast/Reception afterwards, we suggest you consider hiring Cobbett’s Dining Room and the Conservatory at Westley Court.

Like Saxony Hall, Jane Austen has a holding kitchen, so a hot or cold buffet would be the preferred option for you and your guests. Take a look at our buffet menu, which includes an excellent selection of delicious canapés and a cheeseboard.
