Pippley Walled Garden

Pippley Walled Garden is defined by structure and seasonality. Red brick walls wrapped in climbing roses enclose a series of garden rooms, where flowerbeds, paths, and historic features create a considered setting. The space moves naturally between open air and cover, allowing the day to unfold across distinct yet connected areas. Georgian architectural references and long-established planting give the venue a sense of continuity, while the layout keeps everything within easy reach for guests. The result is a venue that feels grounded and purposeful, with outdoor spaces that hold their shape and character throughout the year.

Civil ceremonies take place on-site, keeping the entire celebration within the garden walls. One of the most popular ceremony locations is the converted greenhouse, set against a rose-covered red-brick backdrop. Here, vows are exchanged surrounded by planting and architectural detail, with natural light filtering through the glass structure. The space balances openness with shelter, making it well-suited to seasonal weddings. The surrounding gardens and historic features create a quiet sense of occasion, with enough presence to frame the ceremony without drawing focus away from the moment itself.

Following the ceremony, guests can gather on the sunken terrace for drinks while photographs are taken throughout the gardens. This area offers a relaxed pause in the day, with layered planting and enclosed walls creating a sense of privacy. The permanent wedding marquee hosts both the wedding breakfast and evening reception. Designed in a Georgian style, the structure features floor-length draping, crystal chandeliers, and large windows that maintain a visual connection to the gardens beyond. The space accommodates up to 200 guests comfortably and offers flexibility for layout, styling, and flow as the celebration moves from day to evening.

Food plays a central role at Pippley Walled Garden, with an in-house catering team creating menus using ingredients grown on site. Dishes are prepared fresh and served with an emphasis on flavour and seasonality, allowing couples to shape a menu that reflects both the time of year and their own preferences. Bar services are flexible, offering a range of drinks, including flower-dressed cocktails and award-winning wines. Dining can be tailored to suit the day, whether formal or relaxed, while remaining cohesive with the garden setting and marquee layout.

Set within Nottinghamshire, Pippley Walled Garden is surrounded by countryside and historic villages, offering guests the chance to explore the area before or after the wedding. Local walks, independent pubs, and nearby towns offer options for extended stays, while the venue itself remains the day’s focal point. The surrounding area supports a relaxed pace, giving guests space to enjoy the setting beyond the celebration itself.
