The History of Woburn Safari Lodge

The Woburn Safari Lodge, situated in Woburn, Bedfordshire, boasts a rich and compelling history that’s tightly interwoven with the noble Russell family and the Woburn Abbey Estate. This enchanting venue, with its roots tracing back to the 11th century, was originally part of a vast deer park, established by John Russell, the First Earl of Bedford, a trusted advisor of Henry VIII. Over the centuries, it evolved into a hunting lodge for the Russell family. By the 19th century, the Duchess of Bedford, known for her passion for wildlife and conservation, conceptualized the idea of a wildlife park on the estate. Consequently, in the 20th century, the park opened as Woburn Safari Park, attracting countless visitors. In 2007, the Lodge underwent a significant transformation to blend its historical essence with contemporary features, creating a unique and versatile event venue. Retaining its rustic charm, the renovated lodge began hosting weddings in 2009. Today, the Woburn Safari Lodge, with its blend of rural ambiance and modern amenities, stands as a preferred location for couples seeking a distinctive wedding venue. Embedded in the lap of nature, the Lodge allows couples and guests to celebrate amidst wild animals, offering a truly unique experience that is an integral part of Woburn’s heritage.
