A Stunning Venue in Wiltshire

Hatch House is the family home of Sir Henry and Lady Rumbold and it’s set on the beautiful Pythouse Estate in the heart of Wiltshire. With incredible views across the Vale of Wardour, it provides the perfect setting for a secluded country wedding, whatever the style. 

The theatrical façade of the house faces the exquisite 17th-century walled Dutch garden, which has two tiers of lawn framed by herbaceous borders. Lady Rumbold has always regarded the Dutch Garden as “the best room in the House.” The Rumbolds enjoy sharing their spectacular house and garden for weddings and other events. Hatch is an incredibly flexible venue and has been the backdrop to the international ballet event, Ballet Under the Stars, for almost 20 years, and has hosted festivals, the annual charity Open Garden and open-air theatre. In 2023, Hatch was used as the location for a marquee party in an episode of The Crown.
