Inspired by History
In 1591 the Elvetham estate played host to the Elvetham Entertainment, one of the most exciting & lavish events of Queen Elizabeth I’s reign. In just a few weeks, hundreds of men built a village of luxury accommodation for the queen’s visiting court, dug out & flooded a vast lake to provide a stage from which to entertain her, & laid on every facility for feasting & revelry.
Our Gloriana Bar is inspired by The events of The Elvetham Entertainment and Queen Elizabeth I herself. The name Gloriana originates from a 16th Century poem The Faerie Queen, written by the poet Edmund Spenser, which contains the Character Gloriana who is based on Queen Elizabeth I and depicts her defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. Gloriana then became a popular name given to Queen Elizabeth I.
The Gloriana Bar is open Sunday - Wednesday 11am - 11pm & Thursday - Saturday 11am - 1am.
