Whether you're planning an intimate ceremony, a celebration with family and friends, or a special anniversary photoshoot, Tattershall Castle provides a unique backdrop steeped in nearly 600 years of history.
Civil Ceremonies in a Historic Castle
Tattershall Castle is a licensed wedding venue for civil ceremonies in Lincolnshire, offering a unique and atmospheric setting inside the iconic Great Tower to exchange your vows.
Ceremonies take place in the Parlour, the ground-floor chamber from which the castle estate was once managed.
With its high ceiling, beautifully carved stone fireplace and stunning stained-glass windows, the Parlour combines medieval character with an intimate atmosphere, accommodating up to 76 guests.
During your hire period, you and your guests will enjoy access to the castle grounds, creating countless opportunities to explore, celebrate and capture memories together.

Every couple is different, and we're here to help make your day feel personal and special.
Included in your venue hire:
- Exclusive use of the Parlour for your ceremony
- Access to the castle and grounds during your hire period

You can choose to use our decorations, bring your own, or combine the two. Whether your style is simple and elegant or colourful and creative, we'll help you design a celebration that reflects you.
Raise a glass in a remarkable setting
Following your ceremony, continue the celebrations with an optional drinks reception.
Guests can gather directly outside the Great Tower, or amongst the romantic ruins. If the weather is less favourable, drinks can be served in the castle's impressive vaulted basement, offering a memorable indoor alternative full of character and atmosphere.
Our friendly team will be on hand fom day one to the big day, to help everything run smoothly, allowing you to relax and enjoy the experience.
Capture memories to treasure

Every corner of the castle tells a story, providing a timeless backdrop for photographs you'll cherish for years to come.
