Summer Weddings
Long light, longer evenings.
Outdoor ceremonies on the West Lawn, drinks in the gardens, festoon-lit dinners that run until the sun finally gives up. The classic summer wedding, done right.

Why Summer Couples Choose Us
Summer at its absolute best.
Long English summer evenings deserve a venue that uses them. Outdoor ceremony, garden drinks, dinner under festoon lights, dancing as it gets dark. Every part of the day gets to breathe.
West-Facing Light
The West Lawn catches the best evening sun. Ceremonies, drinks and photos all glow.
Gardens in Full Bloom
Roses, lavender, herbaceous borders. The grounds peak from May through August.
1am Music License
Dance until 1am, with the windows and doors open into the courtyard.
Shade & Shelter
Mature trees and covered courtyards mean older guests have somewhere cool to retreat.

Summer Menus
Fresh, seasonal, easy to eat.
Summer menus lean lighter. Heritage tomato salads, seared sea bass, pavlovas with English berries. Our in-house kitchen builds menus around what's actually in season, not what looks good on paper in February.
Long sharing tables work brilliantly in summer. So do grazing stations, wood-fired pizza ovens, and late-night ice cream carts. We've done all of them.
