For a Medieval Fairytale Wedding, among the hills and waterfalls of Cumbria and
in sight of the Scottish border, go no further than Naworth. Once the home of
the mighty Dacre and Howard families, it is now a leading function venue. And
you can enjoy your wedding among the wood paneled rooms, towers, turrets and
narrow spiral staircases.
The historic Great Hall is licensed for ceremonies. It has a timbered ceiling
and a vast inglenook fireplace, as well as tapestries made for the wedding of
Henry VI of France to Marie de Medici in 1600, brought to Naworth during the
French Revolution. The Hall overlooks the Castle Courtyard, a great place for
wedding photographs and greeting guests!
Also licensed is the Library, with rows of books, paintings and leaded windows.
It seats up to 75 people. Although the castle is not a hotel, it has ten double
bedrooms for guests and a bridal suite in the tower, complete with four-poster
bed!
The staff guarantee a personal service and will cater for your every whim. They
can organize the whole wedding, from photographs and flowers to car hire and any
kind of food. To hire the bridal chamber and the Great Hall for your party costs
$1,900 plus Tax - plus $475 for the library for your ceremony. Finger buffets
cost $14 per head and more formal sit-down meals from $35.
