Woodland Weddings in the Safari Tent

We can offer a truly unique rustic woodland wedding experience in a setting which the happy couple and their guests will never forget!

Enchanting Woodland Weddings in our Safari Tent

Couples can host their wedding reception in our beautiful and unique safari tent which is nestled within our tree lined arboretum.

The venue is in a sheltered position surrounded by majestic woodland.  Festoon lighting throughout the tent and arboretum means that not only is the venue beautiful by day but twinkles by night!

Personalised Woodland Wedding Planning in Beautiful Surroundings

The safari tent venue is surrounded by some majestic woodland and has super views across the lake with deer grazing in sight on our parkland.

There are plenty of choices of places for blessings within the grounds and many couples choose to have their blessing in this fabulous view point supported by close family and friends – a lovely spot!
