About Berkeley Castle

Berkeley Castle is a venue like no other - a place where history, grandeur, and charm come together to create the perfect setting for weddings, private celebrations, and corporate events. Nestled in the Gloucestershire countryside, this remarkable castle has been home to the same family for over 900 years, making it one of the most historically significant properties in England. With its glowing pink stone, dramatic battlements, and breathtaking views, it offers a stunning backdrop for any special occasion.

Whether you’re planning an elegant dinner, a lively celebration, or a formal corporate event, Berkeley Castle provides a versatile and unforgettable space. The Great Hall, with its soaring ceilings and centuries-old tapestries, is ideal for grand banquets and award ceremonies, while the Long and Small Drawing Rooms offer an intimate and sophisticated setting for drinks receptions, networking events, or private gatherings. For something truly unique, the Armoury and Cellar provide a distinctive and atmospheric space for more informal celebrations. The castle’s beautiful gardens and grounds are also available, allowing guests to enjoy the tranquil surroundings and stunning countryside views.

Exclusivity is key at Berkeley Castle - when you book the venue, it’s yours alone, ensuring a private and immersive experience. Whether it’s an intimate gathering or a large-scale event, the dedicated events team is on hand to tailor every detail to your vision. From choosing the perfect space to coordinating entertainment, decorations, and logistics, they ensure your event is as seamless as it is spectacular.

The food and drink offering is equally bespoke. Catering is provided by Napier Catering, a family-run company known for its passion for high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. Menus are designed to suit each event individually, whether you’re after a formal banquet, an elegant afternoon tea, or a relaxed buffet. The castle’s fully stocked Berkeley Bar is available for events, and wine pairings can be arranged to perfectly complement your menu.

For those looking to extend the experience, the estate’s charming accommodation offers a range of cosy cottages and lodges, perfect for overnight stays. Whether you’re hosting a wedding, milestone birthday, corporate retreat, or gala dinner, Berkeley Castle provides a magical, historic, and completely bespoke setting for an event to remember.
