John Hope Gateway

• The John Hope Gateway is a bright and sustainable space offering indoor and outdoor options, located on the West side of the Garden.  Looking directly onto the stunning backdrop of the Biodiversity Garden from the outdoor terrace area, this venue can be used for ceremonies, evening dining and receptions.

  Opened by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth in 2010, this is our largest venue on site, with the option to use both the upper and lower floors and is available for hire from one hour after the Garden closes through until 1.00am.  The dining capacity offered is up to 200 guests, and up to 300 guests for an evening dancing reception.

  The John Hope Gateway is wheelchair accessible.
