Imagine the scene: a grand Tudor Castle enveloped by manicured gardens and a tranquil lake, a stunning bride and her groom, family, friends and lots of smiles and laughter. This romantic setting can be the backdrop to your fairy tale wedding.

The 13th century double moated castle is steeped in 700 years’ worth of history and is the perfect venue for a wedding that is out of the ordinary. Inside, wood panelled walls, antique furniture, portraits and tapestries adorn the rooms. The happy couple can choose from three incredible venues for their big day.
