Private Dinner at Leighton House

About this space

At Leighton House we offer two stunning private dining spaces, both of which come with exclusive hire of the museum. Whether for a wedding reception, corporate event, or Christmas party we can accommodate both intimate gatherings in Leighton's dining room, and larger banquets in his grand studio.

Leighton's studio
With its high ceilings, large north-facing window and walls lined with Leighton's original artwork, Leighton's studio is a stunning setting to hose a larger banquet.

Leighton's dining room
With the added allure of dining at his original table, Leighton's dining room is a spectacular space for more intimate events.
