From the moment you step into the private and secluded Walled Garden, your wedding guests are immersed in a truly magical venue. With the Pagoda licenced for wedding ceremonies, you can choose to get married outside in the picturesque gardens.
The garden’s natural beauty also provides a captivating backdrop for photographs and outside dining and an idyllic setting for your drink’s reception. Guests can enjoy champagne and canapes surrounded by rose and lavender borders, an orchard, and a scented herb garden.

The Courtyard Room
With its exposed stone walls oozing with character and charm, The Courtyard Room is a wonderful place to say: ‘I do’. It’s licensed for civil ceremonies and can seat up to 100 people. This light and atmospheric room offers a sense of privacy and intimacy for your ceremony in the daytime, transforming by night to provide the perfect setting for your evening reception with plenty of space for a bar, live music and dancing for up to 130 guests.
