Civil wedding ceremonies & partnerships, can be held in the Great Hall between 10am and 6pm. If you are considering a church blessing, the beautiful Rockingham parish church, St Leonard’s, stands in the castle grounds just a short walk away. Consent for the use of the church is by separate arrangement with the parish vicar.
After the ceremony, you are welcome to use the formal gardens and grounds for photography. During this time, your guests may be entertained at a drinks reception in the Panel Room or inside Walker’s House, which is part of the Castle and close at hand for guests to be called for photographs as required. Alternatively, if the weather is suitable drinks can be served on the Terraced Lawn or the Courtyard with the backdrop of the Castle & stunning views over the Welland Valley.
For a full reception Walker’s House is available. We can seat up to 76 guests and with an evening buffet can cater for 120. Walker’s House has a dining area, and separate bar and dance floor. We have excellent caterers with a range of menu options from relaxed and formal catering plus an wide range of wines for use with our table licence. A selection of menus & a drinks list is contained in our information pack.
Should you wish to have more space, possibly for a bigger party after the ceremony, a marquee can be attached to Walker’s House within the courtyard of the castle at an additional cost. - Please ask for further details.
