The Lost Gardens of Heligan - Historical Garden Wedding Venue
Nestled in the picturesque village of Pentewan, Cornwall, The Lost Gardens of Heligan offers a truly magical setting for a wedding like no other. Once hidden beneath brambles after the First World War, this 200-acre historic estate was brought back to life through a remarkable restoration—and today, it stands as one of Britain’s most romantic and unique garden venues. With nine breathtaking spaces licensed for civil ceremonies, couples can choose to exchange vows surrounded by blooming gardens, under ancient trees, or within the charming interiors of heritage buildings. Whether you're dreaming of a small, intimate ceremony or a relaxed evening reception, Heligan has a perfect spot to match your vision.
The Heligan Kitchen Conservatory offers a beautiful space for a three-course wedding feast, while the outdoor barbecue area provides a more laid-back, rustic option for dining and celebration. Most weddings here welcome 20 to 50+ guests, with bespoke options for larger gatherings. Heligan’s dedicated wedding team is by your side every step of the way, ensuring a seamless experience from planning to the final toast. Menus are crafted using seasonal produce grown right on the estate, just yards from your table, and the drinks menu features handpicked local wines and spirits from nearby Cornish producers. More than just a venue, The Lost Gardens of Heligan is a place where love stories are celebrated amidst natural beauty, timeless charm, and heartfelt hospitality.
