About this space

From an intimate garden party to marquee events our beautifully landscaped gardens provide a peaceful retreat with the stunning architecture of our Soane Gallery as the perfect backdrop, come rain or shine anything is possible with us at Londons oldest Gallery.
From fetes to festivals, weddings to corporate away days and charity fundraisers, the Galleries gardens have seen it all.

The grounds can be hired for exclusive and private use.

Included in our gardens is a private Meadow that is available to hire throughout the day. A completely hidden space that sits on just under an acre of land adjacent to the Gallery and Gardens. It is perfect for a more private summer time Wedding, corporate away days or family fetes.
Each event at DPG is unique and we aim to guide you toward a more personalised service via our hands on Events Team who will be more than happy to help and guide you through the day.

Pleas note that the grounds have sound limitations to acoustic music only until 6pm.

Host rules

As the first purpose-built public Gallery, DPG's grade II listed status prevents us from allowing dry-hire in the majority of venues to protect the priceless works and historical status of the space.

As each wedding at Dulwich Picture Gallery is arranged on a bespoke basis to your exact requirements, all costs for catering, marquee hire, entertainment and flowers would be on top of the venue hire and need to be arranged through our list of approved suppliers who know and have previous experience with the Gallery , all of whom can be found at the back of our brochure.


As a listed building housing rare and priceless artworks we tend to only work with our own approved list of suppliers because of their experience with the gallery and insurances through our tender process. Feel free to contact any of the recommended suppliers for initial quotes or recommendations to make your day as special as you can for you both.
