In the finer weather of June, July and August and we would recommend hosting your post ceremony celebrations in Haddon’s Tudor Walled Gardens. Haddon’s gardens are renowned for their beauty, structure and views are arranged in a series of terraces, retained by enormous buttressed stonewalls that cascade down to the River Wye. Begun in the 12th Century, the gardens were remodeled into their current form by Robert Smythson, the Elizabethan craftsman, who adapted them to compliment the Long Gallery completed in the 1580s. In the 1930s, the 9th Duchess of Rutland planted a garden that became famous for roses. Recently, Arne Mayanard, the Chelsea Gold award-winning gardener, was commissioned to update the garden. He has created a paradise of wild flower meadow borders punctuated with Hawthorn and Beech topiary; a knot garden that frames jewel plants appropriate to the Elizabethan period; and has “It was an absolute broadened and updated the borders on the Bowling Green and Fountain Terrace. pleasure planning the During the summer months a vintage style marquee big day with your is erected on the Bowling Green Terrace reserved for brides and grooms and this is a lovely spot to enjoy help and everything drinks and canapes or to host an afternoon tea. went so perfectly.
