Meeting facilities at Hertford Castle

Businesses in the Hertford area in search of external meeting offices need look no further than the town’s 15th century iconic Castle.

Hertford Castle which is a grade 1 listed building has a range of meeting rooms for hire accommodating up to 100 guests. From our smallest room – the Cecil Room which comfortably seats 10 delegates – through to the Downshire Suite, the Castle offers excellent facilities for businesses looking to host meetings, presentations or interviews.

The Downshire Suite comprises the Mayor’s Parlour, the Salisbury Room and the Conservatory which can all be hired individually. As can the historic first-floor Robing Room with its beautiful 15th century stone, brick and timber feature wall. As its name suggests this room houses all the official Mayoral robes and accessories making an impressive back drop for a meeting or presentation.

The Castle is situated in beautiful grounds, bordered by the River Lea and the 12th century flint and stone walls of the original Norman Castle, which delegates can enjoy in between meetings.

Room hire starts from just £40 per hour or there are special delegate rates for half day and full day hire. For just £30 per delegate (full day) and £15 (for four hours) businesses get room hire; tea, coffee and biscuits; buffet lunch (additional £6.60 charge for half day delegates); water; projector and screen and a flip chart and pens. These services are also available to businesses hiring rooms on an hourly basis for a small additional cost.

Despite its historic setting the Castle’s location is ideal for business meetings and functions as it is conveniently situated in the heart of Hertford town centre and is within walking distance of the town’s two railway stations and bus station. There is also plenty of public parking very close by to complement the two parking spaces available at the Castle during the week. For weekend hire the entire Castle car park is available.
