Located on the first floor, the Mayor's Parlour is ideal for an intimate celebration, accommodating up to 15 with seating for up to 8. Luxuriously decorated in blue and gold, with a beautiful fireplace and stunning chandelier.
Named after the poet and painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who in 1860 wed artist and poet Elizabeth Siddal here in Hastings. Inspired by the Victorian Arts and Crafts movement, the decor includes William Morris-style wallpaper and two bottle green Chesterfield style sofas, which provide seating for up to 8. A print of Rossetti's 'La Ghirlandata' hangs above the fireplace, and a copy of their marriage certificate features on the adjacent wall. The Rossetti Room is the only ceremony room located on the ground floor.
Set behind large ornate doors this magnificent oak-panelled room, with large, vaulted ceiling, is perfect for the slightly larger celebration. A spacious room furnished with rich red carpet and chairs, with a central aisle, stained glass windows and an impressive Bath stone fireplace.
Room capacities include you, your partner, and all guests (including witnesses and children.)
