The Sculpture Gallery houses some of the finest sculptures produced by 19th Century neoclassical sculptor John Gibson as well as portraits from the National Portrait Gallery Victorian collection. A magnificent vaulted ceiling and finely decorated fireplace add to the sumptuous decor that includes hand woven curtains in the Victorian style. The room will seat 80-90 guests and includes a beautiful Steinway Grand Piano that can be played before and after the wedding ceremony.

The Ladies Drawing Room is a particular favourite amongst the visitors to the Castle. While small (no more than 35 guests can be accommodated) it has a particular charm representing as it does the lighter early Victorian period. Portraits presented in this room include one of Florence Nightingale while several others once hung in the Novello family home in Italy. The yellow wall coverings and embroidered hangings provide the perfect backdrop for the portraits. At one end of the room, a large bay window provides views over the Castle's rolling parkland.

The Dining Room will seat approximately 40 guests in surroundings that include portraits of famous personages of the 19th Century. Those portraits include figures such as William Gladstone, Joseph Chamberlain and Arthur Balfour. A particular feature of the room is an unusually decorated marble fireplace commissioned by the former owners of the house, the Williams family.
