Baby Naming Ceremonies

Marwell Hall boasts 3 beautiful licensed rooms for this special occasion. We offer mouthwatering menus and you have the option of providing your own drinks for a small corkage fee.  As we only book one event per day, you can enjoy Marwell Hall and its surroundings in a relaxed atmosphere.

The Seymour Library

Capacity 40 people including the registrars and photographers.

The ornate fireplace of this distinguished room bears the coat-of-arms and motto of the Seymour family. Marwell Hall was owned in the mid-1500's by Sir Henry Seymour. He was the brother of Jane, Henry VIII's third wife. The room is partly panelled and lined with library shelves and the attractive ceiling has appropriate decorative details. With two large windows and impressive doorways, this room has the right atmosphere for an important but joyous occasion.

The Long Room

Capacity 80 people including the registrars and photographers.

This elegant room was named after Sir William Long who in 1816, created Marwell Hall as we see it today. Graced by tall mullion windows, impressive fireplace and decorative cornice, this large room, entered by grand doorways, will make the perfect setting for ceremony.

The Woodlock Room

Capacity 40 people including the registrars and the photographers.

This airy room, with its deep bay mullion window, is named in honour of Walter Woodlock who first built Marwell Hall in the early 14th century. The Medieval Hall was a timber structure which remains the core of the building today. Over many centuries different owners, who all played their parts in our history, have added rooms to the hall. In the 21st century these now find a new use as a delightful setting for your ceremony.
