About this space

The Norfolk Garden, a Garden in The Charterhouse, is a compact historic walled garden that forms a sheltered outdoor room within the Charterhouse complex.

Design: The space has an intimate, enclosed scale: a central lawn framed by mixed perennial borders, mature trees and gravel paths that create dappled natural light and shaded pockets.

Features: A permanent PA system and speakers are installed and hosts may play their own music or bring a DJ. The space has step‑free guest access, is wheelchair accessible and is supported by accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Friends, colleagues or community groups seeking a relaxed, social standing reception or an informal seated meal in a compact outdoor setting.

What guests say: The garden is attractive and pretty and provides a quiet, reflective setting within the Charterhouse complex.

Host rules

- Due to the special nature of the Charterhouse as an almshouse for a community of older men and women, events can only take place between 8.00am and 10.00pm.
- The Brothers who live here permanently will be on-site during your event. They will be made aware of your event, and will respect the areas designated for you and your guests.
- The Chapel and Cloister are parts of our public museum. Unless opting for the museum closure option, we cannot guarantee there will not be the possibility of people walking into the chapel.
- We cannot hold civil ceremonies in our outside spaces.
- The Chapel and Chapel Cloister cannot be used for weddings – but you can have your blessing there.
- Confetti is allowed outside as long as it is biodegradable.
- Candles can be used both inside and outside, but they have to be smokeless.
- DJs and dancing is allowed in the Norfolk Cloister and Old Library [up to 9.30pm]. In other areas we can have live music but not as loud.
- All children under 14 need to be supervised by designated adults at all times during your event.
- We allow guide dogs on the premises, but no other animals. Outside we can also consider well-behaved dogs on leads, and horses.
- No smoking anywhere on site (including outdoor spaces).

Stunning location, a jewel hidden away. Staff were so helpful and we were very pleased with the way the event worked out.

Loos were a bit of a walk for older guests, but were fully accessible.
