About RHS Garden Wisley

RHS Garden Wisley is not only one of the UK’s most breathtaking gardens - it’s also a truly unforgettable setting for events, parties, and corporate functions. As the flagship garden of the Royal Horticultural Society, Wisley is home to one of the largest and most diverse plant collections in the world, making it an extraordinary backdrop for gatherings of all sizes and styles, all year round. From vibrant spring blossoms and lush summer borders to autumn’s golden hues and sparkling winter walks, every season brings something new and beautiful to discover.

Whether you're planning an elegant dinner, a milestone celebration, or an inspiring corporate away day, Wisley offers a choice of exceptional spaces to suit your occasion. The spectacular Glasshouse provides a one-of-a-kind setting, where guests can dine and dance beneath soaring ceilings surrounded by exotic plants and cascading waterfalls. Begin the evening with drinks on the Glasshouse Terrace overlooking the lake, before moving into the tropical warmth of the main Glasshouse to celebrate into the night. With space for up to 140 guests for dinner and dancing - or 180 standing - it’s a venue that never fails to impress.

For a more contemporary option, the Terrace Restaurant offers stylish surroundings with direct access to the gardens. With capacity for 100 seated guests or 120 standing, this elegant venue is perfect for relaxed celebrations, dinners, or networking events, complete with patio access for summer evenings.

For smaller gatherings, the Tulip Tree Room offers a bright and versatile space overlooking Wisley’s Seven Acres. Perfect for family parties or daytime functions, it accommodates up to 65 for dining or 100 standing and comes with its own outdoor area to enjoy after public hours.

All catering is provided by the excellent Company of Cooks, who build seasonal menus around ingredients grown at Wisley itself. From canapés and banquets to informal buffets, their food is as fresh and thoughtful as the surroundings. Whether you’re planning something grand or intimate, RHS Garden Wisley offers a magical setting, exceptional hospitality, and memories that will blossom long after the event is over.
