09/01/2025

🌟Looking for that Bridgerton vibe for your wedding? Y&J tied the knot at Parade House and wanted a intimate Wedding Ceremony with just twenty guests in our beautiful panelled Directors room, with a champagne reception in the Blue Drawing Room and a Wedding Breakfast in the elegant first floor Ballroom.

If you have recently become engaged, Parade House is a stunning Grade 1 Listed private venue in the historic heart of the County Town of Wiltshire, and our beautiful Georgian home can be Exclusively Yours for your Big Day!

Fully licensed for Wedding Ceremonies and Civil Partnerships in all the fine rooms, our beautiful venue won “The Best Event Venue in Wiltshire 2024 Award” and “Most Idyllic Historic Wedding Venue 2024 - South West England”.🥂

Imagine sweeping up the grand 18th Century staircase to the elegant first floor Ballroom for your Wedding Breakfast, then descending into your own cool private Bar and Cinema for the evening’s entertainment in the historic vaults. For a more romantic departure, why not get whisked away in a beautiful horse drawn carriage in complete Bridgerton style!

As we begin to think about taking down our Christmas decorations, we thought we would share a favourite in our antique collection, which is subtly displayed each year.

The rare print is by Thomas Rowlandson (1757 – 1827) the English artist and caricaturist of the Georgian Era, noted for his political satire and social observation.

A prolific artist and printmaker, Rowlandson produced both individual social and political satires and his caricatures included those of people in power such as the Duchess of Devonshire, William Pitt the Younger and Napoleon Bonaparte. He also produced a large number of illustrations for novels, humorous books, and topographical works.

Like other caricaturists of his age such as James Gillray (also in the Parade House Collection) his caricatures are often robust or b***y. Rowlandson also produced highly explicit erotica for a private clientele; this was never published publicly at the time and is now only found in a small number of collections such as ours.

The Collection can be seen on private History Tours and Open Days at Parade House, when our magnificent Georgian Grade 1 Listed townhouse is open to the public.

🎄Parade House is all decked up for Christmas, with six beautifully decorated trees gracing the fine rooms throughout the house🌟

We are wondering which of our 8 fireplaces Santa will come down tonight, so milk 🥛 and cookies 🍪 will be set out in each room…

We’ve had a marvellous year with our fantastic staff welcoming thousands of amazing guests, and we’re looking forward to our final private event of the year tonight 🌟

If you haven’t had a chance to visit Parade House over Christmas, here’s a little peek inside to make your Christmas Eve sparkle!✨

🎄Wishing you all a magical Christmas and remember to think of others and to give whatever you can 🎄

🌟 Did you visit Miss Havisham at our Christmas Dickensian Open Day?

In “Great Expectations “ by Charles Dickens, the wealthy and elderly spinster Miss Havisham lives in her crumbling mansion Satis House, jilted on her wedding day many years ago, still dressed in her wedding dress, sitting at her long and decaying wedding table, watching the spiders envelop the once festive feast in cobwebs while the mould infested wedding cake crumbles and decays.

We recreated the scene in our grand first floor Ballroom, and visitors were treated to an immersive experience by the aging and miserable Miss Havisham, recounting her story and regretting her treatment of her beautiful adopted daughter Estella, who she brought up to take her revenge on all men by breaking their hearts, especially the novel’s young hero Pip.

🎩 Characters from other Dickens novels such as Scrooge, Mr Micawber, the Artful Dodger, Little Dorrit, Estella and Dombey haunted the fine rooms, while a string duet played festive tunes in front of the enormous Christmas tree as well as delightful musical performances in the Drawing Room.

🎄Mulled wine and Festive refreshments were served in Ushers Bar, and Dickens movies were screened in our luxury cinema.

It was an amazing day at Parade House, attended by over 260 visitors at “The Best Event Venue in Wiltshire 2024”🏆
