Wedding Receptions
 

Planning the wedding of the year?

Then come and see why an 800 year old Palace could be the perfect venue in which to hold your wedding reception.

The Bishop’s Palace has played host to lavish hospitality for over 800 years and the truly unique venue offers you access to a medieval vaulted undercroft, the Palace Long Gallery, outdoor terrace and acres of stunning gardens to stroll across in the evening, perfect as a breath-taking backdrop to those all-important photographs to mark your special day.

With so much for you to think about we aim to make the planning as straightforward, smooth running and enjoyable as the day itself. After all, you should be concentrating on enjoying the excitement in the lead up to your big day and being the centre of attention.

 

Hire packages 

We have put together a choice of hire packages so you can tailor your day to suit you and your guests. Have a look through our brochure to inspire you and then talk to us about your requirements and we can provide a quote for you.

Be a King and Queen for the day and exclusively hire the Palace and gardens - it’s just like having your own stately home! Princes and Princesses hire the Palace for the day and enjoy the attention they receive from our garden visitors. Dukes and Duchesses and Lords and Ladies enjoy evening parties, lunches or canapés and drinks whilst still having photographs taken in the beautiful gardens.

 

Don’t forget, we’re here before and after your wedding day so if you like the idea of a pre-wedding dinner or BBQ in the gardens, photo sessions or Sunday lunch the day after in The Bishop's Table then let us know and we can help you arrange that too.
