Castle Goring

Castle Goring has been called the UK's best-kept secret wedding venue and is famous for its magnificent dual facades. We offer two stunning locations to hold wedding ceremonies, including the magnificent Ceremonial Hall with its double height ceiling, and the South Lawn with Castle Goring's Italian Terrace and famous and magnificent horse-shoe staircase as its backdrop. On the first floor within the main building sit 3 large interconnecting opulent State Rooms, perfect for enjoying reception drinks and canapes, plus the Castle's State Dining Room with its table formally at Buckingham Palace. There are two further interconnecting rooms on the first floor consisting of Queen Victoria's Drawing Room and Queen Victoria's Bedroom which can be used in addition to the main State Rooms. The Castle's marquee is ideal for large receptions and is situated on the South Lawns of the Castle. It has a fully clear wall to the front to allow guests to enjoy the elegant façade of the building as well as letting in lots of natural light. The setting is very neutral with ivory lining and light carpet allowing the wedding couple to style it as they wish. The structure can accommodate up to 180 guests for dining. For small to medium sized weddings couples are invited to use the State Dining Room, Entresol or Ceremonial Hall for dining. The romantic Percy and Mary Shelley Bridal Suite is perfect for brides for getting ready in the morning. The Castle has two rooms that can be converted for dancing in the evening, including the Entresol, allowing guests to spill out on to the lawns. Set in 8 acres of private parkland in the South Downs National Park, with views over the countryside and often roaming deer, Castle Goring is arguable the most romantic Castle in the Land.
