Our history

The Warren family have been guardians of the 850-acre Hyde Estate for nearly a hundred years.  Originally at Handcross Park, and then at The Hyde, it has been a much-loved and idyllic family home, full of laughter and fun. It is no wonder members of the family have wanted to celebrate their own weddings and milestones within The Wild Garden, the setting of so many magical childhood memories. The unique backdrop has hosted boho-inspired weddings, a Peter Pan themed 21st and a Jazz-age Ruby wedding anniversary party (amongst many other reasons for celebration).

We are all passionate about marriage and family and are so glad to offer The Wild Garden for your special times. We revel in the various seasons that the Wild Garden gives us too. In Spring, there are carpets of little wild daffodils and stunning bluebells line the drive. The pink azaleas in May are almost luminous, and the white stems of the birches seem to glow in the dark too. As the garden is so mature, the rhododendrons are magnificent, as are the magnolias. In the Autumn ,all turns to gold and red, and the warmth of the colours is an amazing backdrop. We invite you to come and explore our beautiful Wild Garden for yourselves, and discover why we feel it’s too exceptional to keep to ourselves.
