Launching in Spring 2026, the reimagined Charles Garden will offer a breath-taking outdoor setting for your wedding or special celebration at Down Hall Hotel, Spa & Estate. Located beside our elegant Bridgeman Suite, this exclusive half-acre garden space has been thoughtfully redesigned to blend timeless romance with effortless luxury.

At the heart of the garden lies a wide lawn with seating for up to 180 guests, framed by formal hedging, ornamental grasses, and over 40 newly planted trees. A decorative iron gazebo provides a stunning ceremonial focal point, while a 2-metre-wide central aisle creates a dramatic entrance through a sculptural metal pergola – perfect for that unforgettable walk down the aisle.

Designed by renowned landscape architects Hicks and Hart, the Charles Garden is being transformed to create an enchanting backdrop for your most memorable moments.
