CIVIL WEDDING CEREMONIES & RECEPTIONS

Thank you for your enquiry about holding a wedding ceremony and reception at Bolton Castle. Completed in 1399, the castle overlooks the beautiful Wensleydale. It is within easy access of the A1 and just 6 miles west of the market time of Leyburn. The castle has a wealth of history and would make an impressive venue for your special day.

The local Superintendent Registrar has offices in both Northallerton and Leyburn. The Registrar's office telephone number is as follows: 01609 780780 et 2601 / 2602. Please note that the hire of the castle does not include the Registrar's fee, catering costs, tables or chairs. Tables, chairs and covers can be hired from C & G Rentals they can be contacted on 01748 811511. Along with the details of local caterers, there are several wine merchants in the area who you may wish to contact, for example Wrightson & Co (Simon Wrightson) on 01325 374134 and the Sommelier Wine Company (Maria Barnes) on 01423 500181, who specialise in wedding receptions.

If you choose to have both your wedding and reception at the castle, the wedding ceremony must begin after 4.30 pm, as the castle is open to the Public until 5.00 pm (March to November). However, civil ceremonies can be held earlier in the day. You are most welcome to use the gardens as a backdrop for your photographs, should you wish to do so.

If you have any further questions or would like to visit the castle to see our facilities, please do not hesitate to Sarah Penty, the castle administrator, by phone (01969 623981), fax (01969 623332) or email (info@boltoncastle.co.uk).
