Hermitage is a wonderful place to have gatherings such as birthday parties, celebrations weddings etc. Through The Catering company Traditions and Creative catering . They've set up a big backyard event due to not being able to have anything inside of Hermitage given the old and beautiful artifacts in there. Parties are usually posted under Right next to the beautiful magnolia tree and the water. Which is a also a great scenery for pictures .

We loved our time at Hermitage and will definitely return next time we're in Norfolk. The grounds are stunning and we enjoyed exploring the paths on the property.
