Kiftsgate Court Gardens

Kiftsgate Court Gardens have been hosting wedding receptions for garden and nature lovers for the past 25 years and in 2024 was granted a civil ceremony license.

Kiftsgate is located on top of Glyde hill in the Cotswolds with views towards the Mavern Hills and is the ideal location for either a private weekend celebration taking advantage of the accommodation for 24 guests or a one day celebration if you prefer on either a Friday or Saturday.

Various areas in the gardens, both covered and open air, are licensed for civil ceremonies and when the weather doesn't allow, the Tearooms are also licensed for indoor ceremonies.

Kiftsgate's tearoom is situated next to the gardens and is the best location for wedding breakfasts and dancing for up to 60-70 guests. Above 70 guests will require a marquee which can be situated near the house.

Couples are able to choose the caterer of their choice and no corkage is charged if they wish to bring their own drinks.

Please see below the various areas of the gardens where ceremonies are licensed and the numbers permitted for civil ceremonies:

The Tearoom (occupancy 120)

The Veranda (occupancy 45)

The Summer House - Lower Garden (occupancy 36)
