About
Setting

A world of charm and elegance awaits you at this venue. The Walled Gardens, surrounded by ancient woodlands and sweeping pastures, offer a romantic and secluded backdrop. Couples can choose from a variety of settings, each with its own unique character.

The Walled Gardens, accommodations, and the Estate provide countless opportunities to capture those perfect photographs. From intimate shots of the wedding party during morning preparations to quiet romantic moments away from the excitement of the celebration.

Whether you envision a whimsical country-inspired fairy tale or a chic and glamorous garden party, your celebration will be unforgettable in this magical location.

Ceremony

Couples can select from several beautiful ceremony sites to suit their wedding style and vision. Options include:

  • The Walled Gardens: A romantic and secluded space for intimate, nature-inspired ceremonies.
  • Garden House Lawn: A picturesque outdoor ceremony site framed by lush greenery.
  • Parkland: A versatile open-air location, perfect for larger gatherings and grand entrances.
Reception

Celebrate in style within the beautiful surrounds of the Walled Gardens or the expansive parkland. Each space offers flexibility to suit a range of styles and preferences:

  • Walled Gardens: Enclosed within historic brick walls, this elegant garden creates an intimate, sophisticated setting for dining and dancing.
  • Parkland Site: An open, sweeping landscape where marquees and tipis can be erected for grand, large-scale receptions.

As day transitions to evening, the venue’s atmosphere shifts from a relaxed and tranquil celebration to an exclusive private party. Tiki torches dramatically illuminate the historic walls, setting the stage for an unforgettable night.

Additionally, the venue is corkage-free, allowing couples to supply their own beverages without additional fees.

Getting There

FAQs
Can we get married on-site?

The Garden House lawn is a beautiful, intimate space for outdoor blessings and celebrant-led weddings for up to 200 guests. The Walled Gardens at Woodhall are not licensed for civil ceremonies. Still, there are several lovely churches in the area, and the venue's wedding team can work with your needs to coordinate with local churches and with a couple's chosen celebrants.

Can we choose our own caterers/marquee suppliers?

We work with a small selection of carefully chosen companies who meet our high service, quality and design standards and understand how to get the best from our unique venue.

What style of marquee can we have?

Whatever you like! Our approved structure suppliers offer plenty of variety, including traditional pole marquees, clear span, tipis, pole and canvas, stretch tents and yurts.

Is there indoor space? What if it rains?

The venue is entirely outdoors, but marquees and stretch tents can be used at various sites within and around the Walled Gardens. So that you know, we do not allow hard flooring anywhere within the Walled Gardens. English weather is unpredictable, and our team is experienced in dealing with last-minute plan changes to ensure your wedding day goes smoothly.

Is there parking available on site?

Free parking for your guests is available right outside the Walled Gardens.

Are there toilets and power on-site?

There are toilet facilities and power suitable for up to 200 guests for receptions below in the Parkland Site, which are included in the package price. Additional facilities will be required (at extra cost) for receptions within The Walled Gardens.

Is there a corkage charge?

No, we are a corkage-free venue.
