Set amongst 92 acres of magnificent formal gardens inspired by the gardens of Versailles, Wrest Park is a striking venue for wedding receptions, corporate functions and evening entertainment. We are also newly licensed to host Civil Wedding ceremonies.

The Wrest Park estate was home to the de Grey family from the 13th Century until 1917. The present Manor House was completed in 1834 and designed by Thomas Earl de Grey, an enthusiast for 18th-century French architecture.

Open spaces and sheltered woodland are complemented by reflective expanses of water and ornate garden buildings, such as the 19th century Orangery, the Bowling Green House and Archer’s Pavilion.

Following extensive refurbishment, Wrest Park House is the latest English Heritage property available to hire from August 2008.

Dates still available for 2009 – please call the hospitality co-ordinator on 01525 860000 or 07795 061574 or email joanne.cameron@english-heritage.org.uk
