The Long Gallery
The
Long Gallery is situated to the south of the Retainers Courtyard, from
where it projects into the formal gardens. The principal entrance has
a magnificent staircase leading into the Gallery itself - a large oak
floored room some 80' x 20', with a grand Jacobean fireplace and panelling.
The
Long Gallery has been successfully used for product launches, presentations,
concerts, banquets and buffets. There are excellent kitchens, lavatories
and central heading, ensuring that the level of comfort matches the magnificent
surroundings. The views from the large windows reach to the Blackwater
Estuary, one of the homes of the Colchester native oyster. Light floods
in through these same windows, bathing the room with a bright and airy
atmosphere, which can be enhanced at any time of the year by lighting
the magnificent fire.
