Private Parties

There is no charge for small parties of less than 30 people. But please let the committee know your date just in case it coincides with another planned event.

Please also adhere to the rules about litter and noise – see below. Thank you.

Parties of more than 30 people

A deposit of £400 is required, payable to “Arundel & Ladbroke Gardens”, and delivered to the committee member responsible for parties.  £200 will be returned if the above rules are adhered to. The remaining £200 is a contribution to the garden social fund.

Please pay the fee by BACS and write a cheque for the deposit which will be held on file against any damage, and returned after your party.

Please print two copies and contact: parties@arundelladbrokegardens.co.uk

Parties of more than 100 people or with a contract marquee

A deposit of £1,000, of which £500 is refunded if there is no damage, is a required. Catering equipment wider than the gate must be hoisted over the compost area, NEVER brought through the gates.

Portaloos are too wide for the gates and cannot be brought into the gardens as they would create a health hazard if they were to be hoisted out after use.

We prefer you to use the far lawn by the Ladbroke Grove Gate
If access to guests is by one of the garden gates, please place a minder by that gate to prevent unwanted guests.
Be considerate with loudspeakers. Live music is OK

Afternoon Parties to end by 10 pm
Evening Parties to end by 11 pm

Litter:

  • Please take ALL your refuse to your own dustbins.
  • Do not leave ANY food or containers used for food overnight. These attract the foxes and rats.
  • The site should be cleared by 10 p.m. for afternoon parties and by 10 a.m. the following morning for evening parties.

Rules about litter and noise apply to overspill parties from residents’ homes.
