Walworth Castle Hotel is located within 18 acres of lawns and woodlands and provides the perfect setting for your special day. You can have a civil ceremony at the castle with the option of an outdoor ceremony in our beautiful wedding garden with Lady Palmers Pavilion, or indoors in our magnificent ballroom. For those more daring we have a dungeon available! We only host one wedding per day, ensuring that you and your guests are the only VIP's at the hotel. We also offer the castle exclusively, so only you and your guests have use of the venue and its grounds. We have a highly trained wedding team who can help guide you through the process of arranging your fairytale wedding. Our chefs can create a bespoke menu suited to your tastes or we can offer you menus which you can choose from. We have 32 beautifully decorated en suite rooms including the King James bridal suite, which King James himself stayed in when he was travelling from Scotland to London for his coronation in 1603. If you are looking for a venue which offers a personal touch to your special day, and is able to offer you a civil ceremony, a wedding breakfast and evening celebrations with delicious food and drinks, plus accommodation for you and your guests then call us to arrange a viewing.

Wonderful wedding celebrations

We stayed at the castle for a friend’s wedding for a weekend. The hotel was so clean and our room (19) was absolutely fantastic! The bed was extremely comfortable, there was plenty of space to hang clothes. Our little boy (18 months) was provided with a cot bed and extra blankets too! The staff went above and beyond, they were friendly, helpful and so welcoming. The food was delicious! Would definitely recommend.

An utterly amazing day

We were married at Walworth Castle in October 2021. It was our second attempt at a wedding, following the closure of the previous venue due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The wedding and events team could not have been more accommodating. We booked the King James Suite. The room was huge and absolutely beautiful! The staff kindly brought breakfast up to my room Overall it was an amazing day and I am so pleased we chose to get married at Walworth Castle.

A perfect wedding venue with accommodation to suit

Tis the 16th of April, quite a significant Spring day. Having strimmed Garden 'n Fence Edges; our Son Cut the Lawns, to get us Away. So A Trip to Walworth Castle, Via Archers Ice Cream Parlour was the Plan. Enjoy a Sunday Lunch with All the Trimmings which was Delicious: If YOU Can. The setting is SO perfect with Ancient Space and Views Galore. Our First Visit; when Friends Bought it; was over 45years and More. A Perfect Wedding Venue with Accommodatio to Suit. In the 'Best Western' Tradition

Superb and best food ever!

We initially intended to stop overnight in the Lake District as a Christmas present for my wife but due to the awful weather, we rebooked somewhere a bit closed (Walworth Castle) and what a great decision that was! We had a tour around the castle dungeons, which you can hire out for an alternative wedding if you so wish. The castle ballroom caters for both traditional and none traditional weddings, a perfect venue for a wedding or just a romantic weekend away in an old castle.

1st Class!

We stayed in this fantastic castle for our daughters wedding. Beautiful surroundings, rooms were spotlessly clean and well equipped, the bridal suite was jaw-dropping, stunning. The staff were 1st class, all the comms before the wedding, the check-in, the bar staff, waiting staff, managers all so friendly and made sure the stay was flawless. They were all on hand to make sure she had a fantastic day. The wedding timings were so well organised.
