Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • Like a real-life fairytale, this faithful replica of a medieval castle (complete with turrets and a drawbridge!) sits perched on a dramatic rocky bluff along the windswept Gloucester coast.
  • Your celebration can take place in the romantic gardens, in the stunning Great Hall, or a combination of the two. Whatever you choose, you're sure to feel like royalty.
  • Guests are welcome to explore the museum's multiple rooms, which house the original owner's extensive collection of wonderful Medieval and Renaissance artifacts.
