Choosing Clearwell Castle as the venue for your upcoming event, be it a birthday party or corporate away day, is a bit like entering another world for the day. A real life castle straight out of a fairytale, the site dates back to the mid 15th-century when the first hall was built. Since then, Clearwell has developed into the stunning building you see today, surrounded by 20 acres of grounds, and complete with plush decor and boutique hotel rooms.
In terms of planning your special event, there are plenty of spaces that you can take over and make your own. The jewel in Clearwell's crown is the Ballroom which spans 75 feet, huge, arched windows and an original, carved fireplace. The real pièce de résistance, though, is the elevated snug, positioned through an archway and flanked by towering windows; it gives the room an almost church-like feel. Here, you can host up to 150 people for a special dinner and drinks.
If you picture a more freely social event where guests can mingle and chat with a drink in hand, the Cocktail Bar is a fabulous spot. In the daytime it's the perfect place because you can wander over to the cocktail terrace and enjoy a tipple outside, too. Or, for evening soirees, try the Cellar Bar. An underground den of atmosphere and fun, the Cellar Bar has a vaulted ceiling and classic chequerboard floor and is a great place for dancing the night away.
If any of your guests fancy making a full night of it and staying over at the castle, there's a selection of boutique bedrooms that they'll love. And, when it comes to catering, the award-winning team can provide everything in-house from nibbles and canapes, three-course meals or even a hog roast or BBQ.
