An Edwardian Banquet Experience

A trip to Bournemouth isn’t complete without a visit to the historic Langtry Manor, built by Edward VII for his mistress Lillie Langtry in 1877.

Each Saturday night the Howard Family host a six course Edwardian Banquet with the highlight being a 10 minute live performance of the “Life of Lillie” in the Main Hall. With its magnificent stained glass windows, minstrels gallery, inglenook fireplace and sixteenth century tapestries it is the perfect setting in which to delve into the secrets of this intriguing royal love-nest of a King.

The banquet, which is fit for a King, serves six delicious courses of the finest, fresh food. The mouthwatering dishes are presented and described to you by staff in Edwardian dress - All you have to do is 'choose'.
