A Castle for two

With the entire 900-year-old Castle and spectacular grounds to yourselves, say your vows under the impressive double height Norman archway of the Banqueting Hall, followed by photos on the Minstrels Gallery and in the gardens with the peaceful backdrop of the lake. After a Champagne reception, take your seats for an exquisite 5-course tasting menu served in the Banqueting Hall, where nobility would have dined hundreds of years ago.

Sleep like royalty

After dining, retire to your accommodation for the evening, the grand Royal Chamber situated on the top floor of the Castle. Featuring a palatial four poster bed and a bathtub big enough for two, this romantic sanctuary is the only modern bedroom inside a Norman Keep in the country.

  • "From the moment we enquired about a wedding, the staff were helpful and attentive. They had everything planned out perfectly and were able to answer any questions or queries quickly. The whole process was made so simple and effortless by the whole team. We had a small elopment and couldn't have asked for a more magical and intimate venue. It was simply perfect. Added bonus that we stayed in the Royal chamber overnight as well, which was a fantastic experience. Thank you for making our day everything we dreamed of."

  • "We had an elopement civil partnership ceremony at Hedingham Castle last month and it was amazing! The team were wonderful and supportive. The castle is a beautiful venue and perfect for what we wanted. Very accommodating and a personal package for us, our children and witnesses. Thank you!"
