About

Welcome to your dream venue

Dalkeith Country Park has such a rich history that stretches back across centuries, rooted in its origins as part of the historic Dalkeith Estate. What was once the grand landscaped grounds of the Buccleuch family, over time evolved from a private aristocratic estate into a carefully preserved public park. While retaining much of its heritage character and natural beauty.

Today, the park is home to Restoration Yard, where the grounds historic architecture has been thoughtfully reimagined into a contemporary lifestyle and events destination. This blend of old and new creates a distinctive atmosphere perfect for weddings - where centuries of heritage meet modernised unique celebrations.

Weddings here are shaped by the surroundings: ancient trees, open skies, and timeless landscape design, which provide a naturally romantic backdrop. The setting offers couples a sense of continuity and connection to history, while still allowing complete freedom to create a celebration that reflects their own story. It’s a place where the past frames the present, making each wedding feel both grounded in tradition and entirely personal.
