Gilwell Park is an approved licensed venue. Civil ceremonies can take place at Gilwell Park so that you can enjoy everything from your ceremony and wedding breakfast through to an overnight stay and more, such as a lunchtime barbeque or buffet. Bride-to-be Kate Healey, says: ‘We are so pleased that we are able to get married here. Scouting has been, and still is, a huge part of our lives and was how we met over 30 years ago.  Over 80% of our guests are friends that we have made through Scouting, so this was the obvious choice.’ 

Having your special day at Gilwell Park is not just about amazing service, delicious food and a stunning venue, but about everything our site has to offer. This includes use of our lounge bar, outdoor areas for reception drinks or an evening barbeque, our grounds for photographs of your day and of course our large main hall for your wedding breakfast with space for up to 180 people for formal dining. The White House makes a stunning backdrop for your wedding and the main hall can be transformed with an internal marquee-style liner to convert the space into a classic banqueting hall that is both elegant and weather proof. If you want to wow your guests with an historic and unique venue without breaking the bank, Gilwell Park is the ideal location for your wedding.
