Exclusively yours
At Pendennis Castle, you will say "I do" in the atmospheric surroundings of the circular stone keep. It is charmingly contained within an outer wall and surrounded by a secluded grassy chemise where you may wish to serve a glass of bubbly after your ceremony or pause for photographs.
Lower Gun Room
Crossing a stone bridge, you enter the castle keep through a wonderful arched doorway with a heavy wooden door and portcullis, topped by the Royal coat of arms.
With its unusual octagonal shape, thick granite walls and warm wooden flooring, the Lower Gun Room is an enchanting place to exchange your vows, steeped in nearly five centuries of history.
During wedding ceremonies, you can sign the register within one of seven alcoves, which were originally gun ports where cannons once stood trained out to sea.
Royal Artillery Barracks
Just a short walk beyond the Tudor keep stands the Royal Artillery Barracks, built in 1901 to house the Royal Garrison Artillery. It is now converted into a smart banqueting suite, where you and your guests can dine, dance and toast your future in contemporary comfort.
Marquees
Within the grounds, a large lawned area provides ample room for marquee receptions on a grand scale, set against the spectacular backdrop of the castle, floodlit by night.
