About this space

Garden is an outdoor space at The Black Swan centred on timber seating and an open paved patio.

Design: An open paved patio is edged by planters and mature trees and arranged with timber benches and covered seating; overhead string bulbs and mixed timber-and-stone surfaces give the space clear sightlines and an informal layout.

Features: Movable timber benches and picnic tables allow flexible layouts and informal seating. The space includes Wi‑Fi and abundant natural daylight, allows own music or a hired DJ, and is wheelchair accessible.

Ideal for: Relaxed social groups seeking an informal standing reception or casual seated drinks.

What sets it apart: A raised performance stage framed by a metal truss, professional stage lighting and a dedicated sound rig.

What guests say: The garden is clean and social, with friendly, attentive staff and a buzzy outdoor bar.
