Gardens & Grounds

Enter our gardens and grounds through the tree-lined driveway to explore the 8 acres of Ellingham Hall’s private Estate.

With immaculate lawns, a private woodland, walled garden, and an array of terraces, there is so much for you and your guests to explore over your Two-Night Wedding Experience.

Chapel Terrace

The Chapel Terrace provides a peaceful setting for alfresco dining and celebratory drinks the night before.

Featuring ambient festoon lighting and comfortable soft seating, the terrace is perfect for you and your guests to relax and take in the superb views of our picturesque lawns and woodland.

On the wedding day, the Chapel Terrace is the perfect spot for your outdoor drinks reception. Set the atmosphere with some tasty appetisers and live acoustic music and watch as the Hall’s resident peacocks proudly parade the lawns.

The Fire Pit

Our circular seated Fire Pit is a fabulous social area for you and your guests to enjoy alongside our Chapel Terrace.

Cosy round the firepit on the wedding night and soak up the atmosphere of the charming Estate by toasting marshmallows together before enjoying a sparkler reception, whilst your photographer captures those precious moments.

Private Woodland

Walk across our serene stream bridge and discover our private woodland.

Take your first stroll as newlyweds along with your photographer to capture those magical moments in an array of locations including our woodland bridge in the peaceful and natural surroundings.

Walled Garden

The walled garden is an idyllic spot for the happy couple to enjoy a moment of respite and soak in our amazing grounds.

The stone pillars and Secret Doorway provide the perfect backdrop for outdoor wedding portraits, bathed in either the warm glow of the summer sun or revelling in the newly blooming spring flora. Even winter and autumn aren’t excluded. Capture that perfect white wedding pic on crisp snowy grounds or enjoy the dreamy golden reds of the falling leaves.

The Lawns

The luscious lawns to the front and east of the Hall lend themselves perfectly for photos, lawn games, your drinks reception, and the wedding ceremony.

The East lawn features a listed Cedar of Lebanon tree which looks beautiful lit up at night. It also features two Holly Trees set in front of our private woodland.

The pergola stands proud on the front south facing lawn and provides a focal point for a picture perfect outdoor seated ceremony.

As soon as we walked through the doors at Ellingham hall we knew it was going to be our venue, we looked at a few others but always found ourselves comparing them back to Ellingham hall, it had everything we could’ve asked for.
The staff were all amazing throughout from the planning process to the big day, Wendy had us at ease through it all and had all the answers to all our daft questions.
Everyone who came had commented on how lovely the venue is, how fantastic the staff are and how amazing the food was the entire time we were there

“We can’t begin to thank everyone at Ellingham hall for making our wedding the most beautiful and memorable day.

We got married at the beginning of December and went for a 3 day wedding, Friday-Sunday. Ellingham was transformed into a winter wonderland with its beautiful Christmas decor. The Friday night was so lovely to be able to spend time with all our loved ones together before the big day.

The team were so friendly and really felt like an extension of our wedding party/guests. You’re truly made to feel like the venue is your home. Everyone was so attentive and the whole weekend was stress free and the wedding ran smoothly despite the threat of a storm!

We loved how the wedding day didn’t have to end at 12am and could continue the celebrations into the night in the Hall’s secret club/den which was highlight for us.

We also have to mention how incredible the food was the whole weekend and how easily they catered for our guests dietary requirements.

Everyone who attended the wedding continues to speak about how it was the most beautiful wedding they had experienced. Ellingham hall is truly a magical place and we wish we could do it all again!

Thank you again for everything”

Ellingham Hall really is the perfect wedding venue. It has everything you need for a memorable wedding experience. The exclusive wedding package created the perfect 3 day experience for us and our guests. As we and some guests had travelled from Australia, it allowed us to maximise the amount of quality time we spent with our closest family and friends to celebrate our wedding. Those staying in the Hall loved their rooms and constantly complimented the venue and the staff.

Thank you so much, The Cardings

We just wanted to say thank you so much for our incredible wedding. The day was an absolute dream and everything we could have wished for. From our first visit to the day of, every person we interacted with us on your team was friendly, so welcoming and professional. We couldn’t be happier with how it all went.

The venue looked absolutely exquisite, our guests were amazed!! I kept giving tours to the bridal suite 😂 Hopefully we’ll visit again one day!

Ellingham Hall is the most stunning venue, and we knew it was the one for us the moment we stepped inside. We travelled around 3 hours in search of the perfect venue, and after a long search without finding “”the one,”” Ellingham instantly stood out. The staff are absolutely amazing, they went above and beyond to help us create the most perfect day, and it truly was perfect. We honestly can’t thank them enough. From recommending suppliers (since we lived further away), to answering all our questions, to helping us set up for the big day, they were always there for us. We loved that Ellingham is a two-night wedding venue and that it’s exclusively yours during your stay, which made everything feel so personal and intimate. One of our favourite touches was the Poochie Parlour, our dogs are a huge part of our lives, so having a space for them meant everything to us. We’re really hoping they host another Dine & Stay around Christmas or Valentine’s, any excuse to go back! All our guests had such lovely things to say about the staff and the Hall itself. Thank you again for the most amazing day.

Thank you all so much for making the day run smoothly. It was amazing from start to finish! Cannot thank you all enough! Can tell how much of a team everyone was! Nothing was a bother that we asked for, it was the best two days of our lives
