BOLTON CASTLE info@boltoncastle.co.uk | www.boltoncastle.co.uk The setting of Bolton Castle creates a bold statement as your guests arrive. Visible from across the dale, the Castle sits proudly looking across Wensleydale. As your loved ones arrive in the village, their first view is the stunning fortified Castle complete with portcullis. The gardens wrap around three sides of the Castle with the remaining walls set into manicured lawns. The gardens are renowned for their rooms – including a physic garden with herbs and flowers used extensively in the medieval period, to the beautiful arches and rose gardens. The maze provides a lovely opportunity for some memorable photographs and is edged with gravel paths and manicured lawns. Priding itself on flexibility, the team at Bolton Castle will work closely with you to achieve that fairytale wedding of your dreams. You can hire the entire castle and gardens or choose to enjoy a ceremony in one room with two hours for photographs in the garden. The Castle can host both small intimate gatherings as well as larger affairs. Wedding ceremonies and receptions can be held in The Solar Room and The Great Chamber, where Mary Queen of Scots was held in some luxury. It also welcomes weddings on the lawn with the Castle as the backdrop, alternatively a marquee works well for both vows and celebrations. The Great Chamber within the Castle walls is perfect for the “I dos” with a capacity of 120 guests for a wedding breakfast and 220 for an evening do. A marquee on the lawn with magnificent views of the Castle and Wensleydale caters for 250 guests for a reception. What’s more, Bolton Castle’s on-site falconry allows the venue to offer couples a barn owl to deliver the rings at the outset of the ceremony. www.clairehirst.co.uk www.clairehirst.co.uk BOWCLIFFE HALL 01937 541111 | https://bowcliffehall.co.uk A special day calls for a special setting and Bowcliffe Hall certainly won’t disappoint!
