Entering the magnificent tall wooden gates of the Walled Garden is like stepping into a secret garden, where you are greeted by a 40-metre long pergola of beautiful wisteria, roses, clematis and grape vines, all adorned with thousands of fairy lights. The Family Garden within has been transformed into a magical private garden, able to seat up to 100 guests either side of the aisle leading to a wooden arbor where the ceremony can take place.
Afterwards, it’s the ideal location to serve your guests with some pre-reception drinks whilst you take the opportunity to explore the rest of the park with your photographer.
At the other end of the pergola, the events arena is the perfect location to host a large marquee for the wedding breakfast and evening reception. Measuring more than 1,000 square metres, there’s ample room for extra entertainment like a band or giant garden games.
There’s no guarantee that the sun will shine, which is why we also have an indoor space called The Barn where you can have your ceremony and/or reception. This space is fully enclosed with a courtyard space to still provide you with that outdoor feel.
Tilgate Park is set in more than 200 acres of lakes and ancient woodlands. The Walled Garden has always been a firm favourite at Tilgate Park, playing host to peaceful formal gardens and ponds, an evergreen hedge maze, events arena and café, making it the perfect location for celebrations like yours.
