A Living Museum

Founded in 1673, the Grade-I listed Chelsea Physic Garden offers an oasis of green in the heart of one of the world’s most iconic urban districts.

Our Grade-I listed four-acre grounds offer a beautiful backdrop to your occasion, comprising over 4,500 individual plant specimens sourced from across the world, and meticulously curated over 350 years of horticultural science.

Your venue, your vision

Our highly versatile dry-hire format makes the Garden exclusively your own, and lets you design your own event, with your own choice of suppliers.

Event spaces and facilities

The exclusive hire of the garden grants use of our entire four-acre site. This includes the botanic garden, the main and lower lawns, the café marquee, the Gallery and our visitor welcome building.

Our two lawns are professionally maintained throughout the year, and provide plenty of space for a reception, ceremony, or both. Either or both can be used for a tent or marquee—built, furnished and decorated through one of our accredited providers.

With this venue,  will require external toilets & power generator which we can assist you with.
