Sherborne Castle is a wonderful stately venue for Civil Marriage Ceremonies, Civil Partnerships and Wedding Receptions. Built by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1594, with lake and gardens landscaped by ‘Capability’ Brown, the Castle and Gardens provide both a beautiful and historic setting for a stately home wedding.Within the Castle two rooms are licenced for ceremonies; the Solarium - Sir Walter Raleigh’s original front parlour and and the Tudor Entrance Hall. The beautiful C18th lakeside Orangery is also licenced.

Just a short distance from the Castle, the Orangery also provides a light and airy setting for Wedding Receptions. A marquee can be attached to increase capacity.

The Gingko Lawn and lake pier, the Castle and surrounding Gardens make this a truly romantic and magical setting - and a wedding photographer’s paradise. Our Reception facilities are offered on a venue only basis, enabling couples to create their very own character for their special day
