Walled Garden Receptions
Our beautiful Walled Garden provides a glorious setting for a summer wedding celebration with friends & family!
Exclusive and Tranquil
For parties of up to 500 people.
This one acre of enclosed outdoor space becomes exclusively yours for the duration of your wedding day, with partial closures to the public the day before & after to ensure there is time enough for you to add your personal touch.
Limited availability
The Walled Garden has very limited availability due to the rare and unique nature of the space, meaning your wedding will have that extra touch of exclusivity too! Bookings are taken on specific dates in May, June, July and September, so please be sure to get in touch with the Wedding Team in good time if this is your heart’s desire.
Combined Ceremony & Reception
The ceremony room in Upton House can be combined with your Walled Garden hire to ensure you make the most of everything the Country Park has to offer. Follow your ceremony with a Drinks Reception in the Entrance Hall before leading your guests to a beautiful Walled Garden marquee for the main event.
