If you are looking for something special, a unique way to add fun to your celebrations, please take a moment to read through a few of the interesting suggestions below, all of which can be arranged around your time at The Petersham.

An evening of mystery and intrigue awaits as there is ‘Murder at The Petersham’. Enjoy a gastronomic, four-course dinner and find out ‘whodunit’ between courses; a great way to entertain family, friends or colleagues, providing an evening of fun and laughter with fine dining for all.

Casino tables including Roulette, Crappes, Blackjack and Poker can be arranged around your celebration, be it cocktails and canapés or a four course Black Tie dinner party. Fun money is exchanged for chips and the party can begin!

Surrounded by thousands of ageing bottles of wine in The Petersham’s Cellars beneath the hotel, you and your guests can learn to sniff, swirl and quaff, just like the professionals do. Tastings can be arranged for up to 30 guests; simply educational or as a fun competition.

For the smaller, more intimate party, a tutored gastronomic evening enjoying dinner in the remarkable Claret room within the Cellars, can be arranged with classic wines complementing each dish (for up to 16 people).

Richmond Theatre on the Green is a historic local theatre that offers West End entertainment. Many of the new shows preview at Richmond prior to reaching the stage in the West End. Groups of ten or more are entitled to a ticket discount and we can arrange an early supper or cocktails and canapés in one of The Petersham’s elegant rooms before the performance.

Between April and October there are boat services between Richmond and Hampton Court Palace (approx. 1 hour). Take a trip down the River Thames followed by traditional afternoon tea at The Petersham. The River Room, for larger numbers, is ideal with its own private terrace overlooking the Thames.
