The

Gardens

Whilst your guests enjoy canapés

and drinks in the exquisite Italian

Garden, take the opportunity to

have photographs taken in the

magnificent themed gardens of

Compton Acres including the

mesmerising Japanese Garden and

the tranquil Heather Garden.

Let your photographer take you on an incredible

journey as you make your way through

some of the sensational backdrops in the ten

acres of historic gardens. Take in some of the

Romanesque statues and take a moment in the

gorgeous stone grotto – guaranteed to result in

precious photographs to relish forever.

The gardens, designed and built by Thomas

William Simpson in 1924, are steeped in history,

and whether you enjoy a stroll through the

wooded valley or the Rock & Water Garden, or

simply stealing a kiss in the Japanese Pagoda,

your experience in the Compton Acres gardens

will certainly be unforgettable.

and who are you inviting for the

evening? Remember to take into

account the venue’s minimum and

maximum guest numbers

you are paying for your favours,

place cards, etc. to be made,
