Clearwell Castle Wedding Venue

This fairy-tale castle in the stunning Forest of Dean can be exclusively yours for your special day.
(1025)

We have over 30 years' of experience creating wedding day dreams and can accommodate 150 day guests and 250 evening guests. Set in twenty acres of grounds, complete with a cocktail terrace and croquet lawn, Clearwell Castle is embedded within the romantic Forest of Dean and offers an enchanting venue for your wedding day. Make your way through the forest and notice the magnificent facade, which af

fords picture-perfect photo opportunities. Despite its elegance and grandeur, this Gloucestershire venue is warm and ready to welcome you. The church-like Ballroom boasts a 75-foot-long aisle, raised dais and leaded windows. Alternatively, couples can opt for an al-fresco affair on the bandstand with their very own Castle backdrop. Fine dining follows, with our team of in-house chefs able to create menus to suit any taste, with hand-picked house wines available to complement the exquisite wedding breakfast. The modern Cellar Bar has been designed with your evening reception in mind and offers a contemporary setting to end your night in further celebration. The addition of The Wyndham just a short stroll away means there are now an additional twenty-four bedrooms (and bar facilities) on top of the fifteen Castle bedrooms for your wedding night. If one night is not enough, you can upgrade and stay for two!
