Description
Description
Our Venue boasts breath-taking surroundings, nestled among the trees and enveloped by beautiful rolling parkland. Inside the tipis, everything is handcrafted, from the solid wood floors to the rustic bar, wooden tables and chairs. The chill-out area is complete with Chesterfield sofas, which provide the perfect relaxation spot to put up your feet after dancing the night away on the large dance floor.
In the evening, the tipis come to life, lit up by thousands of fairy lights and warming firepits that create a magical and romantic ambience. Outside string lights illuminate the paths and bar area, while lights beneath the surrounding trees provide a truly romantic atmosphere.

The venue is just so peaceful, laid-back and party vibes that makes everything feel so relaxed and natural. It’s perfect for those couples who want something a little different—super pretty, but not overly fussy. There are so many lovely spots for photos.

- MMichelle & Chris04/04/2025What a day!What a day!Wow. What a day !! Despite the British weather throwing a curve ball the whole wedding was exceptional. We wanted a nice calm, relaxed, chilled wedding and that’s exactly what we got. All our family and friends agreed that it was exactly in keeping with us as a couple. Many had travelled over from Australia to be there and it was the perfect venue for our two families to witness our wedding. Thank you Bradbury Glade for making our special day perfect.Wow.

- CCaitlin & Jordan04/04/2025Our Dream WeddingOur Dream WeddingBradbury Glade was our dream wedding. We didn’t want a traditional venue and the relaxed vibes just really added to our day for us and our guests. The venue is just stunning and was commented upon as an ‘amazing’ choice by our guests. The wooded areas surrounding just made gorgeous photos and was just magical. As the Bride and Groom, we couldn’t fault it. The day went without a hitch and we wouldn’t change anything about the day. The staff at the venue, catering and bar were exceptional and couldn’t do enough for us. My only wish is that Bradbury Glade does nights for married couples to come and have a meal as if we could go back to this beautiful venue, we would in a heartbeat.Bradbury Glade was our dream wedding.

- SShelby & Mark04/04/2025I wish I could do it all again!I wish I could do it all again!When me and my now husband first viewed Bradbury Glade we knew that’s where we wanted to get married our first viewed venue and first booked. We loved how private the venue is and cars could be left in the large car park overnight. We also loved that we were married and partied in the same place so this stopped our guests travelling from multiple venues. The woodland area was perfect for photos and there was plenty of room in the tipi for the children to have a play area near the sofas and also people to move between the dance floor and tables. I would recommend Bradbury to anyone it was a lovely day and I wish I could do it all again!When me and my now husband first viewed Bradbury Glade we knew that’s where we wanted to get married our first viewed venue and first booked.
