Inside, magnificent State Rooms and the stunning horseshoe staircase leading to the Italian Terrace and South Lawns create a fairytale setting. Here, you have the choice of two locations when it comes to the “I dos,” the beautiful Ceremonial Hall with its double-height ceiling, seating up to 100, or the South Lawns with the fabled Greco-Roman façade as your backdrop or altar with space for up to 180.

The Grand Marquee, meanwhile, can host up to 180 guests seated comfortably. Featuring an ivory-lined interior with clear walls and ceiling panels, it provides wonderful panoramic views of the South Terrace, lawns and the Castle’s stunning architecture. The first floor’s three elegant State Rooms are perfect for enjoying reception drinks and for after-dinner relaxation. The Bridal Suite, named in honour of the great romantic couple who owned the Castle originally, Mary and Percy Shelley, is perfect for getting ready on the morning of the wedding.
