Fulham Palace London Events & Parties
Nestled on the banks of the River Thames and with 13 acres of beautiful private gardens and lawns, Fulham Palace feels more like an idyllic country estate than a West London venue mere minutes from Putney Bridge. Dating to the 13th century, this venue has a striking mix of Tudor and Georgian architecture and all the period features that go with it, creating a beautiful backdrop to any event.
The team at Fulham Palace have a completely bespoke approach to every event, meaning no two parties or celebrations are the same. With exclusive hire available, you could use all seven venues within Fulham Palace, including the outdoor areas, or hire one or two rooms for more intimate events. For large dinners or parties, the Great Hall is a striking space with dark wood panelling and chandeliers, and for something smaller, the Bishop Terrick’s Drawing Room is full of period features such as a stone fireplace and bookcase that is yours to fill with decorative items or your own mementoes.
In summer, make the most of the outdoor areas and host your party in the Garden Marquee which is situated in the gardens, or in the elegant Tudor Courtyard, where a clear span marquee can be set up for dining.

Venue Testimonials
One of London's hidden gems. The Summer retreat for many centuries for the Bishops of London. Beautiful grade 1 listed building with a Tudor clock tower courtyard with a raised stone circular pond at it's centre. [...] The gardens are the home of at least two of "the Great Trees of London". Situated in close proximity to The River Thames and the starting line for the annual Boat Race.

We had our marriage ceremony in the Bishop Sherlock's room. It was an absolutely fantastic location, a bright and airy room which was beautiful. Our guests enjoyed the string quartet in the courtyard when we went with our photographer to the Victorian walled garden to get some wedding photos taken. The location is fantastic and the gardens are beautiful.

Such a beautiful and historic place. I have been to celebrations here. The gardens are lovely and such a treat to come and meet friends over a cool glass of wine. Good selection of food. Such a delight when the sun comes out.
