The Venue
The Castle Inn is a traditional country pub complete with cosy corners and local hand pull ales. The original pub opens out into 'The Yard' - a light and spacious setting ideal for larger celebrations of up to 100 daytime guests. With both full and half venue packages available; this space also lends itself to host ceremonies and receptions on a smaller scale, providing a much more intimate experience for couples with that preference.
'The Barn' and 'The Horsebox' are our two adjoining rooms showcasing original oak features, complete with a private wedding bar. The event space then leads onto our peaceful terrace and spacious garden which is adorned with festoon lighting and beautiful blossom arch; the ideal spot for your drinks reception and confetti toss.
