Mary Sumner House

Mary Sumner House is a versatile venue space, featuring period-style meeting rooms in a historic setting, excellent customer service and a beautiful conference hall to meet all your event needs. Opened on 21 July 1925 by HRH Princess Mary Viscountess Lascelles, the Grade-II listed venue was built from the donations of members and friends of Mothers’ Union around the world.  

Mary Sumner House offers affordable venue hire, with a selection of 8 beautiful rooms and a conference hall to choose from. We have something suitable for every occasion, with rooms ranging in size from 6 people to 120 people. While we don’t provide in-house catering, there is freedom to bring in your preferred caterers.  

All profits from the hiring of our rooms goes towards our programmes which have supported communities and empowered women to transform lives for over 100 years.
