What's on this August
Can you believe it’s August already? We can’t either. Here at The Old Hall Ely we’re still very much in our peak wedding season we can’t wait to see more lovely couples say ‘I do’ throughout August.
Aside from our lively wedding calendar, we also have two exciting events that we will be welcoming the public to nearer the end of the month, as well as our classic restaurant sittings for breakfast and grazing boards.
Open Day
Bank Holiday Monday, 26th August
On Bank Holiday Monday, we are opening our doors to the public again for one of our much-loved Open Days.
This Open Day is the perfect opportunity to see everything the Old Hall Ely can offer for your special day. Whether you’re newly engaged or already have your wedding booked in with us, we would love to invite you along to enjoy our venue with your nearest and dearest.
Throughout the day you will be able to explore our house and grounds, tour our bedrooms, see our essential wedding spaces and walk around our beautiful gardens and ornamental lakes.
We have some of Cambridgeshire’s top suppliers exhibiting, so whether you’re looking for a florist or a cake maker, you can see an array of their finest work. You will also be able to meet lots of our friendly team who will be on hand to welcome you with a smile and answer any queries you may have.
On top of all of this, there will be live entertainment and delicious canapes for you to enjoy, all with a refreshing glass of Organic Cava in hand.
Pasta Evening
Saturday, 31st August
If there’s one thing we love, it’s a Special Dining Experience in The Orangery Restaurant.
For the first time ever, we are hosting a Pasta Evening and since announcing this one-of-a-kind sitting, tables have been being booked up fast!
Our Head Chef has put together a menu full of delectable dishes – from starters, mains, sides and puddings, you really will be spoilt for choice. Aside from great food, delicious wines and beautiful view of Ely Cathedral, The Orangery restaurant boasts a delightful ambiance for any romantic date night or catch up between family and friends.
We are expecting a full restaurant and only the last few tables remain! If you would like to join us, we recommend that you book your table online before it’s too late.
Breakfast
Tuesdays and Wednesdays
Why not start your day in the best way and join us for breakfast.
Usually, breakfast is held in our gorgeous Orangery, however, as we’ve enjoyed some gloriously sunny mornings lately, we can also take breakfast al fresco too.
Our stunning Topiary Courtyard provides a picturesque setting to enjoy some delicious choices. Breakfast is included complimentary when you book a room at The Old Hall Ely, but we also welcome external bookings between 7:30am and 9:30am.
Breakfast sittings are available on a number of Tuesdays and Wednesdays throughout August but dates do vary monthly. We recommend checking our restaurant and dining calendar for our full schedule of sittings.
Grazing Boards
Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays
In between our Special Dining Experiences and weddings, The Orangery is open for our Grazing Boards in the evenings.
Choose from 3 delightful boards: Cheese, Charcuterie or Seafood, and pair with a glass of wine or one of our popular cocktails.
Our Grazing Boards are available on a number of Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays throughout August but like breakfast, dates do vary monthly. Take a look at our restaurant and dining calendar for our full schedule of sittings and then book your table online.
