CASTLE BROMWICH HALL GARDENS, B36 9BT
01217 494 100 | www.castlebromwichhallgardens.org.uk
Once part of the Earl of Bradford’s estate, Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens is an early 18th century formal garden design rescued, nurtured and now owned by an independent Charitable Trust. Keeping largely to a period- relevant style with plant species and heritage fruit from 1680-1760, it’s like visiting the Baroque countryside in the middle of a 21st century city.
Offering 10 acres of formal walled gardens, encircled by a further 30 acres of local nature reserve, Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens is one of the first licensed outdoor wedding venues in the West Midlands and the perfect space in which to host a wedding.
Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens is an outdoor dry hire venue, offering couples a beautiful blank canvas to create the day exactly as they want.
CELEBRATE IN STYLE
Legal wedding ceremonies can take place anywhere on the extensive grounds. Options include the circular area of the Clair Voie with small amphitheatre vibes, amongst the blossoming heritage apple trees in the orchards, or how about in the classic space of the 1720 Orangery with its dramatic view along the Holly Walk?
The Archery Lawn is the perfect spot for a tipi, stretch tent or marquee, with the rest of the 10-acre site available for couples and their guests to enjoy and capture some incredible photographs.
