Dulwich Picture Gallery Full Description

Dulwich Picture Gallery is London’s best kept secret. Founded in 1811, this hidden gem is the first purpose built public art gallery in the world and has been celebrating art for over 200 years. The building is an architectural masterpiece offering an intimate and unforgettable experience for weddings. We have multiple spaces for all of your different needs to please contact us for more details on smaller more intimate weddings as well as your big beautiful ones! We can offer bespoke pricing for those smaller weddings of 30 or less. The gallery rooms provide a grand and very opulent backdrop whilst the Linbury Room and cafe space have much more of a modern vibe for those wanting something they can add their sparkle to. Or why not hire out our Meadow for a private daytime wedding? All money generated through venue hire goes towards the conservation and care of the Gallery and supports the development of the on-going education and exhibition programmes. Check out our Instagram DPGevents for more images and information.
