Walking in a WINTERWONDERLAND Magical snow-capped venues for winter weddings PENGERSICK CASTLE, PENZANCE, CORNWALL This magical castle is steeped in history and home to original beamed ceilings, ornately carved fireplaces and a fine Tudor stone spiral staircase, ideal for photographs. Another Insta-worthy backdrop is the main entrance with its arched doorway with a built-in drop slot. It sits in four acres of woodland that looks idyllic in the winter months under a blanket of snow. The Pleasure Garden can be used for an outdoor ceremony during the warmer months when the raised flower beds are brimming with roses and other seasonal blooms. The castle is perfect for intimate affairs of up to 38 guests plus the couple. There are several licensed areas for ceremonies including the Gun Room where private dining can also be enjoyed. There is also the Solar room that enjoys views across the manicured grounds and the Drawing Room with its log fireplace perfect for cosy winter weddings.
