About Ellenborough Park

Ellenborough Park is a country house in the Cotswold Hills, set in 90 acres, licensed for civil ceremonies in its gallery and its Gazebo.

Ellenborough Park stands in the Cotswold Hills, set within 90 acres of gardens and woodland. The main house, parts of which date from the 13th century, provides a historic backdrop for wedding photographs. The estate is licensed for civil ceremonies in the bright Ellenborough Gallery and in the grounds, where the Gazebo is one of the few licensed outdoor ceremony settings in the Cotswolds.

The De la Bere Court is the reception room, a light space with a double-height glass ceiling, its own entrance, cloakroom and bar. It seats up to 100 guests for a sit-down meal, with more welcome in the evening. Air conditioning, a built-in sound system and adjustable wall lighting are fitted, and a marquee can be added for larger parties while the Court keeps its bar and dance floor. Smaller weddings can use rooms in the main house.

Packages cover room hire, the grounds, linen, glassware, crockery, cutlery and stationery, together with a Master of Ceremonies, tastings with the Executive Chef and Sommelier, and a bedroom for the wedding night.
