<p>We offer a range of options;</p>
<p>The Moorgate suite – up to 40 people – Civil Ceremony and Reception. This venue is available on a non exclusive basis but in respect to other guests only background music will be available as entertainment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Reputed to be the oldest hotel in England</h1>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12pt; color: black; text-align: left;">The Old Hall Hotel in Buxton (then called The Hall) was built in the 16th century to accommodate visits from Mary Queen of Scots between 1573 – 1584.  Taking leave from the custodianship of the 6th Earl of Shrewsbury, Mary used the Spa water for her ‘ailments’ which in turn enhanced the waters reputation.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12pt; color: black; text-align: left;">Buxton claimed further popularity in the 17th and 18th Century’s – The Crescent was built by the 5th Duke of Devonshire in 1780. Sesigned by his architect John Carr, inspired by the visitors who christened the Spa water as a wonder and holding medicinal properties, Buxton’s Crescent literally became the country’s first leisure resort!</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12pt; color: black; text-align: left;">It comprised of two hotels, The Great Hotel and St Ann’s.  Also, the Crescent had seven lodging houses and a town house for the Duke.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12pt; color: black; text-align: left;">
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12pt; color: black; text-align: left;">Food for the guests was brought in from around Buxton’s Taverns or prepared in the hotels basement.  Shops including a post office, lending library, hair and wig dresser, perfumer, druggist and draper featured beneath the arcade on the ground floor.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12pt; color: black; text-align: left;">The Great Hotel’s Assembly Rooms at the eastern end of the building hosted social gatherings and dances.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12pt; color: black; text-align: left;">
