Burghley House Event Hire

Burghley House – A Premier Event Venue in Lincolnshire

Burghley House stands as a grand 16th-century Elizabethan country house in Stamford, Lincolnshire. It is renowned for hosting the annual three-day Burghley Horse Trials. The Cecil family still owns this prodigy house. Its historic grounds and interiors serve as a desirable filming location, notably for dramas like Middlemarch, Pride and Prejudice, and The Da Vinci Code.

The house and its extensive gardens are available for various events. These include corporate meetings, team-building activities, and private weddings. Event organisers often seek equipment to complement Burghley's historic setting.
