Thornbury Castle Weddings

About

Thornbury Castle is a beautiful 16th century building, which was once owned by Henry VIII and stands in 15 acres of regal splendour, surrounded by Tudor Walled Gardens. It nestles on the northern edge of Thornbury adjacent to the Gloucestershire countryside, 12 miles north of Bristol, and is well placed for visiting the Cotswolds, the Georgian city of Bath, Bristol and Wales.

Following a multi-million pound refurbishment programme, guests will experience a luxurious and sophisticated castle hotel stay, with reference to the history and traditions of Thornbury’s most famous owner; King Henry VIII.

Let Thornbury Castle take the effort out of your wedding day, so you can genuinely enjoy the splendour of the surroundings – from photographs on the immaculate lawns, to pitch-perfect cuisine in an opulent dining room, to a splendid ball in the Tudor Hall and a luxurious night in a giant four-poster bed.

The wedding planners can help to organise your big event to incorporate every fabulous feature of this unique venue. Thornbury Castle is renowned for its cuisine, with our award-winning chef conjuring up mouthwatering dishes using the best quality – mostly locally sourced – ingredients. A sommelier is on-hand to advise you on the perfect wines for your choice of food, and the waiting staff will ensure that your guests are catered for in the best possible style.

The location makes Thornbury Castle an especially attractive venue: while it is secluded and tucked away in its extensive private estate, it is within easy reach of the M4, M5 and Bristol. With gorgeous landscaped grounds and ancient walled kitchen garden, not to mention the architectural splendour of the Castle itself – this is a place of great romance, infused with a sense of history.

The wedding planning team are genuine experts. They know the venue inside out and can guide you through every step of the way, whether you are organising an intimate family affair, or a grand feast and a no-holds-barred ball in the great hall.
