Top tips for hosting your springtime celebration

With the sunshine here, our events team is sharing their top tips for the perfect springtime celebration!

Spring is a season of renewal, celebration and togetherness, making Easter the perfect occasion to gather for a special event. Whether you’re planning a stylish private dinner, a spring wedding or a spring-themed corporate reception, Fulham Palace provides the ideal backdrop for a celebration filled with charm, elegance and seasonal delights.

If you really want to take your easter celebration to the next level, we’ve curated a list of our top tips to inspire you and help you host a memorable gathering.

Design a bespoke seasonal menu

A Spring / Easter celebration is not complete without exceptional food and drink, and our exclusive event caterer, Bovingdon’s, specialises in curated seasonal menus designed for private events of all sizes. When organising your springtime event at the Palace, why not try:

A springtime reception

Enjoy a selection of seasonal canapés, botanical cocktails and fine wines, served in an elegant indoor or outdoor setting.

An elegant afternoon tea

Host a charming tea party with a selection of finger sandwiches, hot cross buns and delicate pastries in a stunning historic setting.

Our catering team can tailor menus to suit your needs, ensuring your Easter event is as indulgent as it is memorable.

Select the perfect spring setting

The Palace hosts a blend of rich history and fresh, blooming outdoor spaces, making it the perfect setting for an Easter gathering. For over 1,300 years, Fulham Palace served as the residence of the Bishops of London, a place where grand feasts and gatherings were once held all year round and over the Easter period. Our heritage-rich setting allows you to continue this tradition and utilise a range of the Palace’s spaces for private hire.

Choose from our stunning event spaces:

The great hall

A grand Tudor-style space with high timber beams, a magnificent fireplace, and an intimate yet impressive atmosphere—ideal for banquets, gala dinners or formal Easter celebrations.

The walled garden & outdoor lawns

Perfect for an alfresco cocktail reception, elegant garden party or spring networking event, surrounded by seasonal blooms and historic architecture.

The Tudor courtyard

A unique outdoor space with original brickwork and a charming open-air feel, ideal for stylish drinks receptions or relaxed Easter brunches.

The Tait chapel

Fulham Palace is one of the few event venues in London that boasts a private chapel, perfect for the blessing of a marriage. This beautiful chapel, both inside and out, has been a cherished part of the Palace for centuries.

Create a unique experience

Hosting an event at the Palace goes beyond stunning spaces and exceptional dining; it’s about creating a memorable experience for your guests. Consider adding custom touches such as:

Live classical music or jazz

Elevate the atmosphere with beautiful live music in the great hall or Georgian dining room.

Spring floral arrangements

Enhance your event with elegant, seasonal flowers that reflect the beauty of Easter and Fulham Palace’s historic gardens.

No matter the occasion, our events team is on hand to help you design a bespoke celebration that reflects your vision.
