    Weddings at Lindisfarne Castle

    Lindisfarne is an atmospheric and romantic fairytale castle dramatically perched high on a rocky island crag.

    This Elizabethan fort, later converted into a beautiful Edwardian home by Sir Edwin Lutyens, is an alluring place and overlooks the charming village of Holy Island - a unique tidal island which is cut off from the mainland twice a day.

    The barrel vaulted drawing room known as the ‘Ship Room’ because of the wooden model of a Dutch sailing ship suspended from the ceiling, is where most couples choose to hold their marriage or civil partnership ceremony.

    Ship Room

    This popular room for ceremonies features a Lutyens designed chimneypiece. The delicately detailed windows give a Gothic feel to the room.

    • Capacity: 25
    • Price: £700 inc VAT

    The Entrance Hall

    The Entrance Hall's sturdy columns and rounded arches recall in miniature the great Norman nave of Durham Cathedral. This room is usually used for the guests to enjoy a glass of champagne after the ceremony.

    • Capacity: 15
    • Price: £700 inc VAT

    Long Gallery

    The stone arches, wooden beams, whitewashed plaster and red brick herringbone patterned floor makes this an attractive area. The windows looking onto the Upper Battery give good light into this Lutyens designed gallery.

    • Capacity: 15
    • Price: £700 inc VAT

    Upper Gallery

    This beautiful long, narrow room is the highest point of the castle. It has a platform at one end and a bow window at the other overlooking the village and the mainland beyond.

    • Capacity: 10
    • Price: £700 inc VAT

    When can civil wedding ceremonies be held at Lindisfarne Castle?

    All the rooms are available on Mondays when the castle is closed to the public and when there is access to Holy Island across the tidal causeway.

    For ceremonies between mid-March and the end of October we are limited to one wedding per day at 10am when the causeway is safe to cross. On Mondays, the castle is closed to the public and ceremonies can take place between 10am and 3pm. For ceremonies outside the property's normal open season please contact us for availability and timing.
