Ceremonies at Clifton Park Museum

We offer a range of options for those who choose to celebrate their special day at Clifton Park Museum. The venue is a beautifully restored Grade II* listed building surrounded by stunning park land.

You can visit the museum during its opening hours to view the ceremony room. The museum is closed Mondays (except during school holidays). If you are planning to visit to see the room, we recommend you avoid Thursday mornings and Friday afternoons as these are busy ceremony days.

There is a choice between two ceremony types at the museum. Standard ceremonies take place on a Thursday morning and Premium ceremonies take place the rest of the time.

Both ceremonies include different choices of wording which help to personalise your ceremony to suit your individual style.
