Thornbury Castle boasts the best-preserved Tudor gardens in England. With the backdrop of the grand castle and surrounding wisteria and English roses, the grounds here offer the perfect big-day setting. The honeymoon destination of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, this venue is steeped in history. From the original mounting steps where Henry VIII would have stood, to the feature oriel windows, there are endless fairytale features. Each bedchamber allows guests to step back in time, with four-poster beds and exposed stone walls. Let’s celebrate! Intimate ceremonies can be held in The Library (14 guests), The Lounge (24 guests) or outside in the Summerhouse in the rose garden (14 guests). Larger parties will love the historic splendour of The Goodly Gardens (75 guests) or The Tudor Hall (75 guests), with its stone walls, original fireplace and oriel window. Small post-vow celebrations are held in The Baron’s Sitting Room and Chancellor’s Lounge (20 guests). These two adjacent rooms provide a long feature dining table alongside a private lounge. The largest celebration space is The Tudor Hall and Boyling House (120 evening guests). The Tudor Hall can be transformed into a memorable wedding breakfast room, with Boyling House providing a private reception room and bar. We love… The Anne Boleyn and Jane Seymour wedding packages offer couples a complimentary menu tasting, as well as a bed-and-breakfast stay in a deluxe bedchamber for their anniversary https://ma rkleonardphotography.co.uk https://mar tindabek.com THEMED VENUES 23
