Birthdays & Milestones
From smaller family occasions to bigger evening celebrations, with food, drinks and space shaped around the people you are bringing together.
Talk to us →Private celebrations, dinners, drinks and exclusive events at The Psalter.
From an intimate dinner with the people who matter most to a full-venue celebration for up to 150 guests, we build events around the occasion rather than forcing the occasion into a package.
Birthdays, anniversaries, family gatherings, private dinners, drinks receptions, business occasions and milestone celebrations all need something different. We start with what you are actually trying to create, then work out the best space, food, drinks and flow around it.
Come in, see the venue and talk it through with us. The best events usually start with a conversation, not a brochure.
Use these as starting points rather than fixed packages. If your idea does not fit neatly into one box, that is completely fine.
From smaller family occasions to bigger evening celebrations, with food, drinks and space shaped around the people you are bringing together.
Talk to us →For dinners where the food, wine and time around the table are the main event. Smaller groups can be hosted in our lounge/private dining space.
Explore private dining →A relaxed format for friends, family, colleagues or clients, with dedicated space and drinks arranged around your guest numbers.
Explore the spaces →Smaller leadership meetings, strategy sessions, client dinners, team gatherings and hospitality-led business events.
Corporate enquiries →A warm, personal setting for families who want space to come together, eat, drink and remember someone properly.
Wakes & celebrations of life →For the biggest celebrations, the venue can become yours for the occasion, bringing bars, restaurant, lounge and bedrooms together.
Explore exclusive hire →Our lounge/private dining space works especially well for smaller gatherings, private dinners and drinks receptions. Groups of around 8–20 can be hosted for private dining, while drinks receptions can work for around 30 guests depending on the format.
We can move furniture and shape the room around the event rather than expecting every occasion to look the same.
For larger drinks-led occasions and parties, the main bar and wider venue give the celebration room to grow. The main bar is particularly suited to events of 50+ guests, with full-venue options for larger occasions.
A personal showaround is the easiest way to understand how the rooms connect and how your event could move through the venue.
The Psalter works because the spaces have different personalities. We can help you choose one, combine several or take over the venue.

A lively option for bigger drinks-led occasions and celebrations, particularly suited to 50+ guests.
Restaurant, bars, lounge and bedrooms brought together for larger celebrations of up to 150 guests depending on format.
We are a hotel, bar and restaurant first, so food and drink are not an afterthought added onto a function room. We can shape the hospitality around the event, from drinks and small bites to private dining and celebration dinners.
For important occasions, we would rather talk through what you want than force you into a standard package that does not quite fit.
With 20 hotel bedrooms above the venue, guests can stay on site after the celebration. Bedrooms can be discussed as part of larger events, family occasions and exclusive-use enquiries.
For full-exclusive celebrations involving amplified music, DJs or live bands, all hotel bedrooms must be included in the exclusive arrangement.
For the biggest occasions, full exclusive use can bring together the restaurant, bars, lounge and all 20 bedrooms, creating one private hospitality experience for up to 150 guests depending on the event format.
You do not need to have everything decided. Give us the date, approximate numbers and the kind of occasion you have in mind. The enquiry goes directly to The Psalter team so we can arrange a conversation or personal showaround.
It depends on the event format and spaces used. Smaller private dining groups can use the lounge/private dining room, the main bar suits larger drinks-led gatherings, and full-venue events can accommodate up to 150 guests depending on format.
Amplified music, DJs and live bands require a full-exclusive arrangement including all hotel bedrooms.
Yes. The Psalter has 20 bedrooms which can be discussed as part of larger celebrations, family events and full-exclusive hire.
The restaurant and lounge are separate step-free ground-floor spaces with their own external entrances and accessible toilets. The central bar itself is not step-free. Contact us before the event if anyone attending has mobility or access requirements.
Yes, and we encourage it. A personal showaround is usually the best way to understand how the lounge, restaurant, bars and bedrooms could work together for your occasion.
Tell us the idea, bring us the guest list and let us show you how The Psalter can work around it.
