Season 3 introduces us to newcomer Lady Tilley Arnold, and with her comes another impressive home, Basildon Park. This 18th-century Palladian house has film credits including The Gentlemen, the 2005 adaptation of Pride & Prejudice and Marie Antoinette – and its gardens also featured in Bridgerton Season 2 as the venue for the grand Featherington ball.

Another new character for Season 3 is the eccentric Lord Hawkins, for whose home we’re introduced to Grimsthorpe Castle, near Grantham. This massive pile, partially redesigned on the site of a medieval fort by Sir John Vanbrugh in 1715, is the ancestral home of the Barons Willoughby de Eresby, and also featured in 2024 period drama Mary & George.

Many of Bridgerton’s defining moments take place at its grand balls, and for Season 3 we can look forward to a visit to Osterley Park in Hounslow, on the outskirts of London. Its 18th-century design by Robert Adam includes a large central courtyard, which we see in the scene.

Another returning venue is Painshill Park near Cobham. In Season 1, it was the site for a Featherington family picnic; this time, we see the gardens landscaped under the 18th-century aristocrat Charles Hamilton with a famous lake and Chinese Bridge, as the location for an adventure under the leadership of new character Lord Hawkins.

For Season 3’s opening episode, we’re at a garden party in the English countryside. For this, the production took over Squerryes Court near Sevenoaks, a 17th-century manor house with gardens redesigned in the 1980s to plans dating back to 1709.
