Alternative Wedding Venue

Camp Katur is a pretty special and unique venue. Think trees, and lots of them with a huge open field with wooden huts around the edges for guest accommodation. As the name Camp Katur Glamping would suggest it is one big luxury campsite.

It’s the perfect alternative wedding venue, bound to give you the most unforgettable experience!

Woodland Wedding Ceremony

A long winding pathway guides you through the trees at Camp Katur to a clearing in the woodland where log benches sit on either side of a natural ‘aisle’. A wooden hut is the centre focus for you to stand next to as you read your vows.

It’s always a joy to photograph a wedding at Camp Katur amongst the trees. On a sunny day the trees in the ceremony area provide the perfect amount of shade making lighting for wedding photography really flattering. On a cloudier day the woodland has an ethereal feel giving it such a unique atmosphere.

Just a short walk from the ceremony area there is a large open field called The Meadow with long grass which is the perfect spot for portraits.

Tipi Wedding Reception

At your Camp Katur wedding, you can hire a tipi for your reception in the meadow. It is the perfect location as it’s surrounded by guest accommodation. There’s plenty of space for guests to spread out and relax on hay bales. There’s also lots of space for garden games. Perfect for a summer wedding day!

A tipi also provides the perfect cover in bad weather and a place for speeches and dancing to take place.

Chestnut Lodge Intimate Wedding Reception

You’ll find Chesnut Lodge in a private corner of the Camp Hill Estate, and it’s the perfect location for a more intimate celebration with close family and friends. There are 3 huts for accommodation and a large lodge with a cosy fire and pool table for entertainment and even a hot tub!

Outside there is a covered seating area which is an amazing area for your wedding breakfast and speeches.
