Steeped in history, The Bishop’s Palace and Gardens sits at the heart of the Medieval city of Wells, Somerset. Whether your arrival is by car or a relaxed stroll across the drawbridge, as you make your way through the arch of the ancient gatehouse, you’ll be greeted with breathtaking views of this stunning 800-year-old building.
With the moat surrounding the Palace offering the tranquil sounds of flowing water, the backdrop of Wells Cathedral, picturesque willow bridge and seasonal flowers and plants all year round, this really is a beautiful space to gather.
