CELLARZ

TREE TOPS PAVILION

Spring Grove House will be full of fun, laughter and merriment this Christmas. Charmingly traditional, warm and welcoming - why not join us during this fabulously festive season?

An intriguing and completely unique venue situated in the cellars of Spring Grove House. Its unusual setting and distinctive atmosphere provides the perfect tonic for that extra special party pizzazz.

Tree Tops Pavilion is big, bold and beautiful and is the perfect venue for any celebration – large or small. Less formal than Spring Grove House and not so intimate as Cellarz, this sensational party pavilion can seat up to 400 guests for dinner.
