Wakes

During this difficult time, The Lion Ballroom provides a warm, dignified, and private space to celebrate the life of your loved one. Located within easy walking distance of The Priory Church, our historic venue offers a calm environment where family and friends can gather without distraction.

We offer exclusive hire for up to 100 guests, allowing you the privacy you need. Whether you wish to hold a full ceremony on-site or a quiet reception following a service, our team is here to handle the details so you don't have to.

Our Wake Packages:

• All-Inclusive Reception (£1,475): A fully catered experience including a selection of sandwiches, savouries, cakes, and unlimited refreshments. Our staff will look after all service and clearing, allowing you to focus on your guests.

• Room Hire Only (£450): For those who prefer a "dry hire" option, including 4-hour exclusive use of the ballroom, staffed bar, and full facilities.
