The Pin Mill is a wonderful building in the heart of the Garden at the end of the Canal Terrace. The Pin Mill can hold a maximum of 60 guests all seated inside, so if the weather is less than perfect, the entire party will be under cover. The walk from the car park to the Pin Mill takes approximately 10 minutes, passing the world famous terraces along the way. Guests are free to mingle on the lawn before and after the ceremony. The Photographs Photographs are not limited to the Canal Terrace and there are many wonderful areas that would make a stunning wedding picture. The terraces are the perfect place to have your formal photographs taken. Other areas in the garden would be great for your less formal shots, with stunning seasonal backdrops. Flowers You may have additional flowers in the Pin Mill within reason.
