Surrounded by centuries-old Tudor walls, every event feels exclusive, offering the rare opportunity to celebrate outdoors in a setting steeped in history.
Guests can enjoy welcome drinks and canapés beneath the open sky, surrounded by historic architecture, before moving through the Palace for the next part of the celebration, or remain in the courtyard as it transforms from a sunlit reception space into a beautifully illuminated evening venue.
The courtyard’s flexible layout allows every celebration to be tailored to suit the occasion, whether styled with long banquet tables, elegant floral installations or relaxed lounge seating. As daylight fades, the historic setting takes on an entirely new atmosphere, creating a memorable backdrop for celebrations that continue long into the evening.
