Set amidst the breath-taking beauty of the Yorkshire Dales, Bolton Castle is a magnificent symbol of longevity which has withstood the test of time. Built on strong foundations, it has survived in a challenging and ever changing world.
Whether you are looking for a small ceremony, a full wedding or a marquee, we, at this award winning venue, are committed to ensuring everything is perfect for your special day. Imagine arriving through the impressive archway under the portcullis into the stunning cobbled courtyard of the Castle.
You will be following in the footsteps of Royalty and you will be the King and Queen of Bolton Castle for the day. Imagine marrying in a beautiful candle lit room in the Castle with a Barn Owl quietly flying down the aisle to deliver your wedding rings. Your guests can be entertained by our falconry or archery display as you have your photographs taken in the beautiful backdrop of the castle and its grounds. Release two or ten Doves to symbolise your everlasting love for each other before you and your guests proceed with the day of celebrations in the magnificent Great Chamber.
Bolton Castle is licensed to hold civil ceremonies and partnerships on site and can cater for up to 120 guests for the ceremony and reception and up to an additional 120 guests for the evening. We also have space in our beautiful grounds for a marquee to seat up to 250 guests.
