Magical Ceremonies...

The stunning scenery in Bude offers endless photo opportunities for a wedding or civil ceremony. From picturesque sunset shots and beach ‘weddings’ without the air fare, there’s never been a better time to say “I do” in Cornwall. 

The Castle offers the perfect location, right next to Summerleaze beach. With three licensed rooms for weddings and civil ceremonies, this stunning Castle is steeped in history and offers the most unique of settings. 

The Conservatory with unrivalled views over the Breakwater, the Canal and Summerleaze Beach is the perfect backdrop to any intimate ceremony. 

The Willoughby Gallery to the front of the Castle is the largest of our rooms and can seat up to 60 and highlights the stunning historical features The Castle has to offer. The smaller of our two rooms is the light and airy Blanchminster Room, easily seating up to 24 guests facing, The Castle lawns. 

Perfect Parties...

You can hold your reception in any of the spaces within The Castle or the Parkhouse Centre located opposite. The Parkhouse is home to The Ivor Potter Hall which can accommodate up to 150 people for a large wedding reception. With a stage set for a band this is the perfect setting for any celebration! For extra space, marquees can also be accommodated on The Castle lawn. 

Catering can be provided at each venue and there is a large commercial kitchen located adjacent to the Ivor Potter Hall. To find out more about holding a ceremony or reception in either of these stunning locations contact the team at thecastle@bude-stratton.gov.uk.
