For summer 2026, Gray’s Inn is delighted to introduce Summer Revels at The Walks, a refreshed and elevated summer party venue in Central London. Set within our historic private gardens yet moments from the City of London, The Walks offers a rare combination of tranquillity, exclusivity and convenience. This makes it one of London’s most distinctive outdoor and marquee event venues.
Surrounded by greenery and hidden from the bustle of the city, our unique garden setting provides the perfect backdrop for corporate summer parties, client entertaining and private celebrations.
What's New for 2026?
A series of thoughtful enhancements have been introduced for 2026 to elevate both capacity and guest experience. A striking clear-roof reception space, set beneath the trees, creates an immediate sense of arrival, allowing natural daylight to flood the space by day and transitions beautifully into an atmospheric evening setting.
Inside the marquee, reimagined lounge and dining areas introduce a contemporary, Mediterranean-inspired aesthetic. The result is a space that feels relaxed yet refined, making it ideal for stylish summer events in London that flow naturally from daytime receptions into evening celebrations.
As the evening unfolds, full technical production transforms the marquee. Professionally engineered sound and lighting enhance the atmosphere, with ambient and architectural lighting subtly shifting the mood. As well as this, a dedicated dancefloor creating a natural focal point for celebration.
Elegant restroom facilities complete the experience, ensuring comfort without compromising on style, a key consideration when you are choosing between premium summer event venues in Central London.
Summer Parties on The Terrace (50-200 Guests)
At the heart of the 2026 updates is improved guest flow and service. An integrated feature bar, together with a newly extended terrace and second bar, allows guests to gather, mingle and move freely throughout the space, while significantly improving service efficiency.
