WEDDINGS AT GWRYCH CASTLE
Located near the town of Abergele in North Wales, Gwrych Castle is a Grade 1 listed country house set within 300 acres of private parkland and overlooking the Irish Sea. Its frontage is 1,500 feet in length, and it has 18 battlemented towers inspired by the great medieval castles of Wales.
In recent years, Gwrych Castle has become world famous as the UK home of “I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!”. It’s also renowned for being one of the largest castles in Europe, but offers an intimate and relaxed atmosphere for your special day.
Gwrych Castle is licensed to hold civil ceremonies in seven of the principal areas inside the castle, and its gardens. The Castle is the ideal wedding venue for couples who are looking to get married in a place which they will never forget, surrounded by history and expansive views.
