Escape to the enchanting embrace of nature for an environmentally sustainable, outdoor ceremony.

Tortworth Arboretum is an ideal location for relaxed, informal forest celebration with family and friends.

You and your guests will have exclusive 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. Whether you’re celebrating a wedding, anniversary, milestone birthday, or naming ceremony, our woodland offers a magical and eco-conscious setting for your gathering.

Each celebration booking includes two nights camping, or you can arrange more luxurious accommodation with our neighbours at the De Vere Tortworth Court Hotel.

Looking for a meaningful way to mark your occasion? Every celebration at Tortworth includes the sponsorship of a new tree, planted during the winter season, so your memories can take root and grow for years to come.

You’ll have an opportunity to visit the woods a few weeks ahead of time to familiarise yourself with the arboretum and discuss any preferred ceremony location with our team. We’ll ensure that your chosen area is clear and looking its very best.

If helpful, we can connect you with celebrants, caterers, photographers, and florists familiar with Tortworth and offer guidance on choosing the perfect setting. You may find inspiration from our gallery of woodland events and outdoor celebrations here.

Let nature be the backdrop as you celebrate in the great outdoors. With no power or running water, this is a chance to fully immerse yourself in nature and connect with loved ones. Our secluded woodland venue offers a unique opportunity to celebrate 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. Talk with our friendly team about availability today.
