Wasing Park to host September Showcase, Forever, on 27th and 28th

Wasing Park, the nationally renowned luxury wedding venue nestled in the Berkshire countryside, is delighted to announce its September Showcase, Forever, taking place on Sunday 27th and Monday 28th September 2026. Recently named the UK's Most Desirable Venue by Bridebook, Wasing Park will shine a spotlight on sustainability, celebrating beautiful seasonal arrangements from the Walled Garden alongside a host of exquisite offerings, including estate-to-plate dining, extended celebrations and charming new award-winning wedding favours.

From flora to sustainably sourced wedding décor, couples can discover how to create a beautiful, timeless celebration that's also kind to the planet. The Grade II listed Castle Barn will be exquisitely styled by talented florists, showcasing elegant seasonal arrangements from the Walled Garden, offering thoughtful inspiration for incorporating conscious choices into a wedding.

New for this season, couples can delight guests with thoughtful gifts from their special day, ffrom charming mini bottles of award-winning Wasing Gin, infused with botanicals gathered from the Walled Garden and hedgerows. There's also pots of Wasing Honey harvested from the estate's own hives or delicate candles made from wax gathered on-site.

Couples are invited to explore the award-winning venue's stunning grounds, ceremony spaces, and on-site accommodation; meet the team; gather inspiration; and begin bringing the wedding of their dreams to life. Wasing Park offers three stunning ceremony spaces, each providing a picturesque backdrop for every celebration. The Garden Room is an enchanting civil ceremony space where rustic oak beams, warm aged brickwork and sandstone floors are complemented by bi-fold doors overlooking the tranquil gardens and Castle Barn. Heated by a biomass boiler fuelled by wood chips from the estate, it seamlessly blends eco-conscious design with timeless elegance, accommodating up to 160 guests.

For those seeking an outdoor ceremony, the Victorian Summerhouse is an idyllic setting nestled amongst nature and adorned with an intricate hand-painted mural, also accommodating up to 160 guests. Meanwhile, the Parish Church of St Nicholas, a charming 13th-century church with beautiful stained-glass windows and a sunlit altar, offers a timeless backdrop for traditional ceremonies of up to 120 guests.

At the heart of Wasing Park, the magnificent Castle Barn offers a characterful blank canvas with soft red brick walls, oak beams, and arrow slits for a truly personalised celebration. With a built-in stage and incredible acoustics, it's the ultimate reception space for a party to remember. Outside, a flowing stretch tent over the terrace and outdoor kitchen allows for year-round al fresco dining, creating great theatre for all diners as chefs prepare delicious dishes over the fire pit and wood-fired oven.

Couples can enjoy the finest locally sourced cuisine with Wasing's estate-to-plate menu, featuring new nose-to-tail offerings made with beef sourced from the estate's organic farm, ensuring a sustainable and delectable dining experience on their special day. The venue caters for up to 160 guests for dining, with evening parties welcoming up to 250.

Festivities can be continued in the Stables Lodge, a decadent post-party bar offering the perfect cozy setting for a nightcap. The following morning, guests can enjoy the very best of Wasing's homegrown produce, with breakfast featuring apple juice, honey and blackberry jam crafted from ingredients grown on the estate.

The venue boasts 26 stylishly appointed bedrooms, sleeping 64 guests, each uniquely designed, with an elegant modern twist in a historical setting. Highlights include the Honeymoon Suite, a spacious former hayloft now home to the biggest bed in Berkshire; The Granary, still standing on its staddle stones, now a luxurious suite with a copper bathtub; The Smithy, the old blacksmiths' workshop featuring an Emperor bed and a spacious en-suite; and The Dovecote, a magical suite with a custom-made triangular bed and original dove boxes filled with fairy lights. There are also 17 characterful rooms in the Stables, the Mews, and the Pump House. Bridal Cottage offers complimentary accommodation for the night before the wedding, sleeping seven guests, and Home Farmhouse, a cosy retreat sleeping 12, is perfect for groomsmen and families attending extended celebrations. The Groom's Room is available on the morning of the wedding; a stylish space to get suited and booted, and enjoy a pre-wedding tipple before the big day.

Wasing Park now offers bespoke 2-to-3-day wedding experiences that create a destination feel within the UK. Couples can enjoy extended celebrations with a host of unique activities, from welcome dinners and lakeside yoga to enchanting moonlit performances set amidst the estate's stunning grounds.
