Baxter Pavilion is situated in the midst of 38 acres of mature parkland of Baxter Park in Dundee. Baxter Park was laid out in 1863, a gift to the people of Dundee from linen manufacturer Sir David Baxter and his sisters Eleanor and Mary Ann. The park was designed by Victorian landscape architect Sir Joseph Paxton, one time gardener to the Dukes of Devonshire and designer of London's Crystal Palace (1851). It is recognised as the best - preserved example of his work in Scotland. The Italianate Baxter Park Pavilion at the centre of the park was designed by Paxton's son-in-law, George Stokes.
Dundee City Council has recently restored the historic Baxter Pavilion to its former glory and this building provides unrivalled and unique accommodation and surroundings for your ceremony.
The restoration of this magnificent building includes a large ceremony suite with a separate ante-room. The approach to the Pavilion is through the tree lined drive of Baxter Park and the glazed frontage of the Pavilion leads to a large terrace that looks southwards over the park, towards the river Tay. Due to its location, Baxter Park Pavilion also affords a unique opportunity for photographs before and after the ceremony.
