Options and Pricing

GARDEN/OUTDOOR EVENTS

Outdoor events may be reserved in one of the following three-hour time slots:
9 AM–12 PM  |  1–4 PM  |  5–8 PM.

Because other parties may be using the same area on the same day, all activities (including pictures and decorating) must begin and end within the chosen three-hour time slot. If an event requires more than three hours, an additional three-hour time slot must be reserved and paid for. All outdoor events in the gardens at Allerton (unless sponsored by Allerton) must end by 8 PM, due to security and safety concerns (unless prior approval has been given).

Events may be held anywhere on the grounds of Allerton Park except at the Sun Singer (due to its popularity among Allerton visitors and the complexity of blocking the road and paths). Tents are allowed in all locations except the Formal Garden areas.
