During sunny summer days, our Grade 1 listed gardens are an idyllic setting for your guests to relax and celebrate with you.
With beautiful features including yew pyramids and a sunken lawn (the ideal space for a game of croquet). Explore further and you’ll discover our subtropical gardens - the ideal backdrop for your wedding photographs.
Athelhampton House itself is just as glorious as its gardens. We can host your romantic wedding ceremony in our historic great hall and serve your sumptuous wedding breakfast in our lavish period dining room.

Thank You!
To Michela, Owen & Laura. Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day at Athelhampton so special. It would not have been the same without your superb organisational skills, guidance and help in answering all our questions beforehand and bringing everything together on the day so smoothly.

the House and Gardens are so beautiful and we still can't believe how lucky we were to catch the sunshine for an outdoor ceremony! The food was fabulous and we had lots of positive feedback on it from our guests, as well as how much they loved the venue.
