Experiences

For the moments that call for something truly special

Some spaces simply make an occasion feel extraordinary before the first course has even arrived. The Looking Glass Room at The Ivy Castle View is one of those spaces.

Inspired by the timeless magic of Alice in Wonderland and the rich cultural heritage of Surrey, this beautifully considered private dining room brings a touch of fantasy to the heart of Guildford. Vintage artwork, antique brass detailing and a pale onyx bar set the scene for an experience that is as visually stunning as it is memorable, whilst a covered private terrace offers a world entirely of its own, perfect for those moments that deserve a little more room to breathe.

Step inside The Looking Glass Room from wherever you are with our immersive 3D room tour and explore every detail at your own pace, from the antique brass finishing and pale onyx bar to the covered private terrace beyond.

Whether you are in the early stages of planning your event or simply curious to see the space, the tour gives you a true sense of the room before you visit. Take a look and start imagining the possibilities.
