The Assembly House Cadeaubonnen Credit

Welcome | The Assembly House

The Assembly House is a Georgian gem in the heart of the city which has been hosting fabulous celebrations for centuries.Designed by architect Thomas Ivory in 1754, no expense was spared in the construction of The Assembly House and while historians view it as one of the most important buildings in Norwich, we would simply describe it as the most beautiful venue in Norfolk.The Grade I-listed splendour of the House is evident from the moment you approach our sweeping driveway and, once inside, there is romance hidden around every corner. From the sparkling chandeliers that make evenings glitter to the gorgeous gardens where you can sip ice-cold drinks or comforting hot chocolates, the 15 luxury bedrooms packed with sumptuous details to the glamorous dining room where we serve our famous Afternoon Tea, our aim is to exceed your expectations every time you visit.Our restaurant is open daily, for breakfast, teatime and afternoon tea, with menus by director and renowned Norfolk chef Richard Hughes, we host stunning weddings and impressive events and in January 2017 we became the home of The Richard Hughes Cookery School, the inaugural winner of The British Cookery School of the Year. Come and celebrate every day at The Assembly House.The Assembly House - COVID-19 Statement - July 2021:We will be continuing to take robust measures to ensure that the safety and wellbeing of our guests and employees are of paramount importance during the global outbreak of COVID-19.
