About this space

The Secret Garden is a semi-private outdoor space at The Roseate Reading, an enclosed courtyard that provides sheltered, leafy seating for private outdoor gatherings.

Design: The courtyard is framed by red-brick hotel walls and mature planting, with paved stone underfoot and a central tree that filters natural light; the proportions are compact and intimate.

Features: The Secret Garden has fixed curved stone seating supplemented by freestanding sofas and chairs around a central planter. The space includes venue Wi‑Fi and a PA/speaker system, and it is wheelchair accessible with a step‑free entrance and nearby accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Small, sociable groups seeking a relaxed, lounge-style outdoor reception or informal seated drinks in a sheltered courtyard.
