As many couples already know this beautiful park is an ideal setting for a romantic wedding and reception. Come and see for yourself at our next Wedding Open Morning on Sunday 16 September.

ENJOY OUR HERITAGE

We’re hoping the fine weather will continue until at least Sunday September 9 when we are taking part in the annual nationwide Heritage Open Day event. Artists are invited to set up their easels in our beautiful grounds, that have just been awarded the prestigious Green Flag award for the second year running, and create their own images of the landscape made famous across the world in John Constable’s ‘Wivenhoe Park’.

CELEBRATING IN STYLE

Congratulations to all the Edge Hotel School students who have just graduated with a University of Essex degree. As always the reception at Wivenhoe House was a lovely occasion and a wonderful opportunity to hear how well they are all doing in the hospitality careers.
