Venue Hire Norfolk


Let us assist you in creating a lasting impression for your special event with our beautiful waterfront venue nestling in the tranquil Ormesby Broad. Relaxing and peaceful, but just a short distance from the A47, with easy access to Norwich. The Boathouse, with flexible accommodation, is ideal for a whole range of functions. Please note we can cater for a minimum of 50 people and a maximum of 250 (depending on your preferred room layout).

The Boathouse event hall boasts wood flooring and exposed beams, with rows of ornate wooden chairs facing a projector screen. Large windows flood the space with natural light, while three doors enhance its inviting atmosphere for memorable gatherings.

Funeral Wakes 


We offer a professional, yet personal and caring venue, for after funeral wakes. We can cater for a minimum of 60 and up to 250 people. From the moment you arrive, our staff will ensure every detail is attended to. We offer a choice of buffets from morning croissants and pastries through to a selection of hot and cold buffets to suit your budget and requirements. We believe the Boathouse is the calmest and beautiful setting for your wake.  Weather permitting, the function rooms, with large glass doors can be opened out on to the decking and our well kept gardens are yours to enjoy.
