Wedding venue Hale Park has a newly refurbished south wing

Wedding venue Hale Park's outdoor wedding area

Set in the middle of an agricultural estate in a very private corner of the New Forest, couples will approach Hale Park down a long avenue of lime trees. Surrounding the house are the extensive grounds, which feature a small rose garden, a topiary, a maze, two ponds and many hidden areas to discover.

Hale Park recorded a pair of firsts in 2022! The venue’s first woodland wedding took place in the Shellhouse part of the garden; the couple were married in front of 100 or so loved ones under a Wellingtonia Sequoia in the glade.

The team has also been busy with the newly refurbished south wing, which now provides the ideal setting for bridal parties the night before weddings and the morning of. There’s also a new suite where nearlyweds can stay on their big day in a huge fourposter bed with billowing romantic voile curtains. 

The Hale Park Weddings team is entering its fourth year of operation. They have been busy creating memorable ceremonies in the Drawing Room and other spaces around the property. The grounds have been used for marquees, bouncy castles, crazy golf, bucking bronco, fish and chip vans, bands, quartets, fireworks and DJs.

Cheryl Corns, Wowcher's spa expert, shares five practical tips to help people find a spa experience that suits their budget. "Start with what you'd most enjoy from your visit," says Cheryl. "A massage, a swim and some time in the sauna might be exactly what you're looking for. You don't necessarily need a long treatment or an overnight stay to make it feel like a treat. "The key is to compare the whole experience—what treatment you get, which facilities you can use and how much time you have there—so you choose something that works for you."

The Alverbank unveils Thursday Wedding Packages

According to wedding specialists at The Alverbank, a coastal wedding venue overlooking the Solent in Gosport, weekday weddings are becoming increasingly popular as couples look to prioritise experiences, value and flexibility. While Saturday weddings remain a classic choice, Thursday celebrations are allowing couples to enjoy many of the same benefits, often with greater venue availability and the opportunity to create a wedding experience that extends into a long weekend with family and friends. "We're seeing couples become much more intentional about how they spend their wedding budget," says Claire Wake, wedding events manager at The Alverbank. "Rather than simply following tradition, many are choosing a Thursday wedding and using the savings to invest in the things that matter most to them."
