The bandstand can accommodate up to 240 guests, while the conservatory can seat up to 156, making it the perfect choice for a large wedding.

You can have the botanical wedding of your dreams at Sefton Park Palm House, surrounded by beautiful flowers and foliage. As if the photo opportunities inside the glasshouse are not enough, you can also venture into the woodlands of Sefton Park.
The venue’s award-winning catering company offers a selection of menus or you can work with their team to develop a bespoke wedding breakfast.
