Venue information
Melbourne Hall Gardens with its broad sweeps of lawn, avenues and unexpected vistas is one of the best surviving early 18th century English gardens in the manner of le Notre. It was laid out by Rt. Hon Thomas Coke, Vice Chamberlain to Queen Anne, and is noted for its long yew tunnel, wrought iron arbour created by Robert Bakewell and statuary by Jan van Nost, notably the Four seasons monument, a gift from Queen Anne.
The Marquis and Marchioness of Lothian have developed the gardens further in recent years. Most exquisitely by the addition of vast cottage-style borders, designed by the Marchioness, a painter of landscapes and portraits, planted with her keen eye for colour and detail.
