Bridal Prep Studio

- Welcome to The Potting Shed –
The best day ever begins here.

Welcome to The Potting Shed – The best day ever begins here.

 The Secret Garden are thrilled to announce the launch of their brand new onsite bridal preparation studio as of October 2024.

Heading across the Cobbled Courtyard and through the archway, leading you to our secluded Potting Shed – perfectly hidden away from guest arrival, until it is time to make your entrance down the aisle.

Behind here, one of the original outbuildings from Lord Braeborne’s Estate has been converted to house everything you need for a relaxed wedding morning – for up to 8 including your hair/makeup artists.

As you enter the open plan space, first you’ll find our two feature salon stations with LED mirrors for the perfect lighting, adjustable and comfortable faux leather chairs, and ample plug sockets.

Heading through the room, there is a cosy seating area with rattan sofas and armchairs – for those waiting their turn in the salon chairs – and our kitchenette, with mini fridge for keeping Prosecco chilled and Tea & Coffee station to keep you caffeinated. And, of course, it’s own bathroom facilities.

Last but certainly not least, the bridal changing area – featuring a 2-meter antique viewing mirror, ample hanging space for dresses, veils and other accessories, and privacy curtain perfect for the grand reveal.

The best part? We are offering this space entirely complimentary to all existing & future bookings.
