A UNIQUE GALLERY & IDYLLIC VENUE
The Palais des Vaches is a beautifully renovated art gallery and event venue overlooking the Beaulieu River and The Solent, offering breathtaking views.
Just a short distance from the world-famous Exbury Gardens, this carefully designed event venue has three flexible, interconnecting interior spaces which surround a large open courtyard and a smaller outdoor seating area with a North facing lawn. In Summer there is a wild flower meadow overlooking the river.
The gallery hosts exceptional local and award winning national artists with exhibitions on show throughout the year, and is the perfect venue to celebrate any special occasion, from birthday parties or weddings to pop-up restaurants, educational talks and corporate away-days.
