Hinchingbrooke house is a Tudor country house built around an early 13th century nunnery. It was given by Henry VIII to Richard Cromwell in 1538 at the time of the Dissolution. Queen Elizabeth I came here, King James I was a regular visitor and Oliver Cromwell played here as a child. The next owners, the Montagu family, soon to become the Earls of Sandwich, also played an important part in British history and the House remained their ancestral home the 1960’s.
The house provides impressive facilities for weddings, balls, dinner dances and conferences. A purpose built Performing Arts Centre has been built in the beautiful grounds of Hinchingbrooke House. It is an exciting venue for Conferences, Product Launches, Exhibitions, A.G.M.’s, Concerts and Theatrical Productions. The House is open to the public during the summer months.
Directly accessible from all major routes, with good car parking facilities, the centre is an exciting venue for a whole range of events.
Hinchingbrooke House today remains as it always has been - the centre of a lively community and school.
