Clifton College has a number of different options for Wedding Receptions. For those who would like a low-key intimate day, the Cricket Pavilion - located on the edge of the Close - is perfect for small parties, and is ideal for lovely summer days where guests can relax outside in the sun. Serve your guests a three-course wedding breakfast in the Pavilion, or offer a low-key barbeque where guests can help themselves and sit on picnic rugs on the grass. Alternatively, for larger wedding parties of up to 180 guests, you can welcome your guests with a drinks reception in the Newbolt Room and adjoining East Cloisters. On sunny days, you and your guests can wander outside onto the College’s beautiful grounds to enjoy extensive views of the College Close and its striking buildings. A delicious Wedding Breakfast will be served in the Grand Hall, and then you and your guests can dance the night away.
