The Walled Garden is a hidden haven of tranquillity providing an enchanting setting to create the perfect wedding. With its picturesque gardens, two atmospheric entertaining rooms, a lovely dressing room and an indoor and outdoor licensed ceremony area, The Walled Garden provides an ideal space for weddings.

Located a stone’s throw from Midhurst, West Sussex, this historic Grade II listed building overlooks the magnificent Cowdray Ruins and is situated at the heart of the Cowdray Estate. With its rich history and timeless charm, The Walled Garden provides a captivating backdrop for a memorable and magical day be it a larger celebration or a more intimate gathering.

The Dressing Room

Get ready surrounded by family and friends in the light, airy and spacious dressing room. With views overlooking the beautiful gardens, there is plenty of space for all the wedding party.

The Courtyard Room

With its exposed stone walls and plenty of character and charm, The Courtyard Room is a wonderful place to say: ‘I do’. It is 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.

The Castle Room

The Castle Room is a characterful space which provides a blank canvas for couples to add their own sense of style and identity. With views onto the magnificent Cowdray Ruins, the room is the perfect place for the wedding breakfast sitting up to 100 guests.

The Garden

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 as well as 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.
