Prideaux Place online: information and bookings

For over 400 years, Prideaux Place has been the home of the Prideaux-Brune family. This ancient Cornish clan’s origins go back even further – to the 11th century – and the present owner’s youngest son, William, is named after his 26 times great grandfather, William the Conqueror.The house is filled with treasures, including royal and family portraits, fine furniture and the Prideaux Porcelain Collection. The recently uncovered ceiling in the Great Chamber is a masterpiece of the Elizabethan plasterer’s art.

The house has something for everyone from ghost stories to England’s oldest cast iron cannon; a house with a living history and a treasure trove of Cornish Life.

Weddings and Conferences
At Prideaux Place we provide everything for the unqualified success of your special event. Imagine. Champagne and canapes in the Strawberry Hill Gothic Drawing Room followed by dinner in the oak panelled dining room (it can seat 26) surrounded by fine art, crystal and silverware. And if you require more space, the wonderfully expansive Great Chamber on the first floor is at your disposal. Perfect for private parties, this magical room can seat 60 to 70 guests.

We can arrange the catering for you and it would be like hosting a celebration in your own home but with the added attractions of an atmosphere and ambience that have taken over 400 years to develop, polish and perfect.

From formal dining to champagne receptions or celebratory parties, Prideaux Place adds that 'something extra' to all you are likely to require. And remember, from the moment you enter to the minute you leave, the house is yours to experience and savour.
