Venue Intelligence

Knaresborough, North Yorkshire

A Gothic castle, held privately.

Allerton Castle is a Gothic Revival stately home, Grade I listed, on a 200-acre estate in rural North Yorkshire near Knaresborough. Available for exclusive use at no extra cost, it gives a couple the whole castle and 25 acres of grounds: the oak-panelled Great Hall with its soaring roof, the vaulted blue Ballroom, the Drawing Room and the Palace Bridal Suite, for a wedding on a fairytale scale.

A Ceremony Beneath the Great Roof.

Couples marry beneath the soaring roof of the oak-panelled Great Hall, making their entrance down the spectacular staircase, or more intimately in the sumptuous Drawing Room. Drinks and canapes follow in the Memorial Garden, the wedding breakfast is served for up to 120 in the vaulted Ballroom, and the Great Hall is then transformed for the evening, dimmed and dramatic, for the first dance and the party beneath the Gothic beams.
