Escape to the enchanting embrace of nature for an environmentally sustainable, outdoor ceremony.
No packages, no corkage, no clock watching, just time in nature with the people you love. Tortworth Arboretum is an ideal location for a relaxed, informal forest celebration with family and friends.
You can hire the arboretum exclusively for you and your guests, with access to over 20 acres of off-grid ancient woodland on the edge of the Cotswolds, where nature sets the scene for your special occasion.
Each weekend celebration booking includes two nights of camping, or you can opt for more luxurious accommodation with our neighbours at the De Vere Tortworth Court Hotel
Every celebration at Tortworth includes the adoption of a tree within the arboretum, complete with a ceremonial label and coordinates so you can return to it for years to come. If you would prefer something even more personal, you can choose a tree planting ceremony and plant a new tree to grow alongside your marriage.
If helpful, we can connect you with celebrants, caterers, photographers and florists familiar with Tortworth, and offer guidance on choosing the perfect setting. We are a non-licensed venue, ideal for humanist or celebrant-led ceremonies in a natural setting.
Let nature be the backdrop as you celebrate in the great outdoors. With no mains power or running water, this is a chance to fully immerse yourself in nature, while creating a celebration that’s simple, flexible, and deeply personal. Our secluded woodland venue offers a unique opportunity to gather in a way that aligns with eco-conscious values, creating memorable moments with a lasting impact.
Escape the ordinary and embrace the extraordinary at Tortworth Forest Centre and Arboretum.
