There is something so magical about how Thicket Priory shifts its character with each season – from the blooming of the daffodils in Spring, to the festive decorations and cosy candlelight in Winter.
After hosting weddings across all seasons, I’ve gathered some moments that capture how the house and gardens transition throughout the year, making every wedding unique to the time of year…
Spring

Summer
The time for your dream Bridgerton-esque wedding – enjoy croquet on the lawn, drinks on the terrace under the parasol, and take advantage of the lighter evenings with gorgeous golden hour photos.

Autumn
The grounds see its biggest change when Autumn comes around, the leaves are changing colour and everything becomes accentuated by deep reds, burnt oranges and golds.
The cooler weather invites cosier indoor spaces, while the terrace can be used for toasting marshmallows and smores making on the Night Prior, or for a sparkler moment the evening of your wedding day.

There aren’t childcare services on-site, however we work with a number of trusted childcare service provided, who you are able to book directly for your childcare needs whilst here celebrating. You can find them on our ‘Friends of Thicket Priory’ list HERE.
