Private Spaces

The White Hart offers two beautiful spaces to suit different group sizes and preferences.

The Essex Barn provides a warm, characterful setting for larger gatherings, while the Garden Room offers a more intimate, light-filled space for smaller farewells.

Both rooms offer comfort, privacy and a peaceful atmosphere to honour your loved one in a way that feels right for you.
