Located on the first floor, The Mayor's Parlour is ideal for a more intimate occasion. This room accommodates 6-8 seated guests and a further 5 standing. This room is luxuriously decorated in blue and gold, with a beautiful fireplace and a stunning chandelier.
Named after poet and painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who in 1860 wed Elizabeth Siddal here in Hastings. This room features 'La Ghirlandata' one of Rossetti's panitings, which hangs above the fire place, as well as a large dresser and chandelier. Inspired by the Victorian Arts and Crafts movement, the decor of this ceremony room includes William Morris-style wallpaper and seating for 10.
For the slightly larger celebration The Council Chamber is perfect. Set behind ornate oak doors that open up into a magnificent wood panelled room, with a large open ceiling. This spacious room is furnished with rich red carpet and chairs, with a central aisle that leads to an impressive Bath stone fireplace. The Council Chamber is also located on the first floor.
