Drinks Reception Entire House at Leighton House

Museum · Whole venue

About this space

The Whole House reception has all the benefits of the Arab Hall reception but allows guests to also move upstairs to enjoy the Silk room, where Leighton housed his collection of other artists paintings, and the studio, where he created his most famous works.

Welcome your guests with drinks waiting for you in the entrance hall, before proceeding into the enchanting Arab Hall. Explore the various rooms in Leighton's home while enjoying drinks and canapés.
