WELCOME TO HOLYWELL ESTATE
In association with
A warm welcome awaits at this venue, tucked away in the peaceful Hampshire
countryside. Refreshments and catering of a high standard and it’s great to be able to walk-off lunch in the wonderful estate.
The walled garden worked perfectly for us. It is a
beautiful setting and such an inspiring space to make what you want of. Bryonie was on hand the whole way through
and her expertise helped tremendously.
Right from the word go, Bryonie was an absolute
pleasure to work with. I really appreciated the recommended suppliers who knew the venue
as this helped the event go smoothly. All of our guests were blown away with the location.
If you choose Holywell Estate for your wedding celebrations, you will have exclusive use our fabulous tipis, which are housed within our walled garden.
Our tipis consist of solid wooden poles grown in the cold forests of Sweden and a light tan-coloured canvas. The specially designed fabric is fire retardant, water repellent and tough.
Our tipis house up to 150 guests to celebrate until midnight. There’s room for a bar, space for a band, the option of a chill-out area, a dance floor, a beautiful dining room and we even allow you to bring your furry friends along, by prior agreement only. As the bride/groom you will also have access the day before to decorate/set up the tent.
We can help style your tipi to suit your wedding theme and there’s plenty of additional outside space to incorporate into your wedding plan.
