Waddesdon Hall: A Hidden Gem for Local Celebrations
Historic charm and modern comfort in the heart of Buckinghamshire
If you’re looking for a beautiful venue close to home, Waddesdon Hall is a true local treasure. Nestled in the heart of the Rothschild Estate and just a short drive from Aylesbury, this stunning 19th-century hall brings elegance and ease to any occasion.
Built in 1897 and sympathetically renovated in 2020, Waddesdon Hall offers a unique blend of period character and up-to-date amenities. Whether you’re hosting a wedding, celebrating a life, throwing a party, or planning a community or business event, this flexible space ticks all the right boxes.
The main hall can hold up to 220 guests standing or 120 seated, with a raised stage for entertainment, speeches or live music. There’s also a fully licensed bar available – staffed and stocked with a wide range of drinks, including local wines from Waddesdon Wines.
What makes this venue extra special is its thoughtful layout. From the hall, guests can easily access the side gardens, a modern kitchen, and a smartly renovated outdoor patio – ideal for spring and summer events. Around the other side, you’ll find a car park and a newly created woodland walk, perfect for photo opportunities or a peaceful stroll.
Waddesdon Hall is more than just a venue – it’s a place where memories are made. With its blend of heritage and hospitality, it’s no wonder it’s become a favourite for local gatherings.
