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.
