A castle in the Surrey Hills, Farnham Castle brings together a Norman keep, a medieval chapel, and glorious walled gardens under one roof — offered as an intimate all-inclusive, a full wedding weekend, or a blank-canvas dry hire for couples who want complete creative freedom. The venue can accommodate up to 230 guests for your wedding celebration.
Farnham Castle has been standing since the twelfth century, its Norman keep watching over the Surrey Hills while the world below it changed beyond recognition. Today it receives couples who want something genuinely historic without the usual trade-offs: the catering is world-class, the accommodation is on-site, and the team offers show-rounds seven days a week — rare for a venue of this stature.
Three distinct formats mean the castle suits very different couples. The all-inclusive intimate package removes the planning burden entirely. The wedding weekend stretches the celebration across two days, giving guests time to actually inhabit the space. And dry hire hands the blank canvas entirely to couples with a vision and the suppliers to match it. The Norman Chapel, the Lantern Hall, and the walled gardens each have a personality of their own — it is possible to spend an entire weekend and never use the same room twice.
