Your East Anglian Wedding - February/March 2021 (Issue 47)

NORWICH CASTLE, NR1 3JU 01603 222 934 | www.celebrateinnorfolk.co.uk Be king and queen on your big day and tie the knot in an ancient castle. Built by the Normans more than 900 years ago, Norwich Castle is one of the city’s most famous landmarks. With a multi- million-pound refurbishment programme, including restoration of the Keep, the castle serves not only as a popular public museum, but a one-of-a-kind private space for your ‘I dos’. The Colman Gallery is home to many fine pieces from the Norwich School of Artists and can accommodate up to 75 guests for the ceremony. Post-vows you can pose on the bridge leading up to the castle and in the gardens, with panoramic views across Norwich; perfect for those all-important just-wed shots. Check out... the city’s wealth of hotels and venues nearby for the reception. MANNINGTON ESTATE, NR11 7BB 01263 584 175 | www.manningtongardens.co.uk Celebrate in style in the magical grounds of this hidden gem. Complete with moat, the Medieval hall is set in stunning natural and formal gardens and although it’s not licensed for weddings, it provides an impressive backdrop for a celebration to remember. The beautiful surroundings offer a wealth of possibilities with plenty of room for a large marquee reception on the lawns opposite the hall. The tearooms also cater for weddings with a variety of options available from cream teas to sit-down dinners and for intimate celebrations there are a number of alternative sites in the grounds for smaller marquees or party tents. We love... the wealth of beautiful photo opportunities around the hall and gardens. 28
