Your Wedding, Your Way
Your Wedding Weekend at WORCESTER PARK AND LODGE
Worcester Park and Lodge offers couples the freedom to create a wedding that feels entirely their own. With space for a marquee, beautiful countryside surroundings and the flexibility to choose your own suppliers, it is a place to bring family and friends together and make more of the wedding celebrations.
Make a weekend of it
Available for private hire from midday Friday until midday Sunday, the venue gives you time to settle in, welcome your guests and enjoy the celebrations beyond the wedding day itself.
Arrive on Friday and take your time getting everything ready before family and friends join you. Gather for drinks and a relaxed evening together, visit one of the many local Cotswold pubs, or enquire about hiring Worcester Lodge for an intimate dinner for up to 16 guests. The perfect start to your wedding celebrations.
On the wedding day, create an occasion that reflects your style, from the marquee and catering to the flowers, entertainment and finishing touches. Whether you are planning an intimate gathering of 50 guests or a larger festival style celebration for up to 200, you have the freedom to make the day your own.
With space in Worcester Park for luxury glamping, including bell tents or bespoke glamping villages, and additional accommodation nearby on the Estate, your guests don’t have to travel far so you can enjoy the weekend together. Dogs and other pets are welcome too, so your four-legged family members can be part of the occasion.
Worcester Park and Lodge is offered on a dry-hire basis, allowing you to choose the marquee, caterers and suppliers that suit your plans and budget. For couples looking for help with the marquee, we are pleased to work alongside The Country Marquee Company, who can provide a package tailored to your requirements.
We also offer a selection of optional extras that can be booked directly through Badminton Estate, including the Beaufort Box bar service, the Coffee Box for tea, coffee and bacon rolls in the morning and a selection of lawn games to hire.
