Venue Hire for Weddings and Special Occasions

Claydon Estate’s historic Walled Gardens are a perfect setting for large summer celebrations, or classic English country wedding receptions.

The gardens are a classic example of fine English country house gardens and were initially laid out in the 18th century for the 2nd Earl Verney by James Sanderson, a pupil of Capability Brown. Originally the Estate’s kitchen garden, it still exudes its original charm.

With 6000 m² of space, the walled garden is available on a dry-hire basis, allowing you the flexibility to create an event tailored specifically to your needs.

A unique and inspirational setting to create an unforgettable experience.

All Saints’ Church, Middle Claydon

All Saints’ Church is located within Claydon Estate and next to Claydon House, which is in the care of the National Trust.

All Saints is a sister church to St Mary’s East Claydon and St Michael’s Steeple Claydon. Claydon Estate has been the ancestral home of the Verney family for more than 400 years; Claydon House is a testament to their past fortunes, from their close involvement in the English Civil War to the family connection with Florence Nightingale, whose life is celebrated for her well-known role in the Crimean War. Her local work can be explored here and her relationship with her family. Florence may have worshipped in this church when visiting her sister, Parthenope.
