Summer parties at the Palace

As the days get longer and the sun shines brighter, it’s time to start planning those unforgettable summer celebrations!

Whether you’re marking a corporate milestone, throwing a lively children’s party or gathering friends and family just because, Fulham Palace is the perfect setting for your special occasion.

With the lush garden in full bloom and stunning indoor spaces, you have the ultimate backdrop for an elegant soirée or a fun-filled summer bash. To help you make the most of the season, here are some top tips for planning a truly memorable event at Fulham Palace.

Top tips for planning a spring or summer party at Fulham Palace

Choose a seasonal theme

Spring and summer are all about colour, nature and fresh ideas. A ‘garden party’ theme with fresh florals, pastel décor and botanical cocktails sets the scene for an elegant celebration. Want something more relaxed? Go for a bohemian vibe with cosy seating, lanterns and acoustic music floating through the air. If you’re hosting a children’s party, why not dive into the magical world of ‘Alice in Wonderland’ with bright decorations, whimsical tea parties and outdoor games?

Whatever your vision, the Palace offers a beautiful blend of indoor and outdoor spaces to bring your theme to life. Let your creativity run wild!

Make the most of the outdoor spaces

Nothing says summer like a party in the great outdoors, and Fulham Palace’s gorgeous garden provides the perfect setting. Picture your guests enjoying a picnic-style gathering on the lawn, sipping cocktails under twinkling fairy lights or dancing the evening away to live music.

For family-friendly fun, set up lawn games like croquet and giant Jenga, or create a dedicated kids’ zone with face painting and balloon artists. Whether you’re looking for relaxed elegance or a festival-style vibe, the gardens are yours to transform.

Seasonal catering to suit every style

A great party needs great food, and our catering team is here to help craft the perfect menu for your event. A refined garden party calls for delicious canapés and chilled prosecco, while a summer barbecue or picnic-style feast brings a relaxed, social atmosphere. For a sweet touch, imagine a dessert station filled with ice cream, Eton mess and fresh fruit tarts!

Want to take it up a notch? How about a signature cocktail designed just for your event? Whether it’s a zesty summer spritz or a refreshing mocktail, our team can create drinks that match your theme perfectly. Whatever your style, we’ll make sure the food and drink are just as memorable as the party itself.

Personal touches make all the difference

It’s the little things that make an event truly special. Personalised invitations, custom signage and themed party favours add those extra details that make your celebration stand out. Perhaps a quirky guestbook where guests leave messages or a photo booth filled with fun props to capture the moment? Whether it’s a romantic anniversary, a lively birthday or an elegant corporate event, adding personal touches ensures your party reflects your unique style.

Our team at Fulham Palace is on hand to help with every detail, so all you have to do is enjoy the day.
