01228 642 980 | www.rosecastle.com
Rose Castle is situated within 60 acres of private grounds and offers a diverse range of habitats, from manicured gardens to meadows filled with wildflowers, and open expanses for activities, such as al fresco dining, croquet, picnics and drinks.
With towers, mullioned windows, and centuries of history, Rose Castle is a truly breathtaking building. Offering views of the Lake District fells from the windows, there are plenty of places to explore and take those all-important photographs.
The bedrooms have been lovingly restored to the highest standards, with original features such as fireplaces, stone windows, folding wooden shutters and cornicing. Each room has its own colour palette, with hand-crafted upholstery using luxurious fabrics, meaning guests will feel like royalty.
Celebrate in style
The Chapel, on the first floor of the castle, is a light and airy space flooded with colour from the handmade stained-glass windows. It can seat 80 guests in traditional pews and chairs, and an extra 20 can be accommodated for larger ceremonies.
The State Drawing Room is a stunning setting to hold civil ceremonies, with space to seat up to 70 loved ones.
For smaller services, the Bishops Study offers a warm and intimate setting with space for up to 30 nearest and dearest.
Alternatively, those who want to get married outside in the walled enclave of the Pettinger’s Garden, with views of Helvelyn in the distance, can do so with up to 50 friends and family.
For much larger gatherings, Rose Castle offers a range of marquees, pavilions and tipis to choose from.

Manchester has emerged as the UK's 'prenup capital', with 13 percent of divorced couples having one in place, compared to 8 percent in London and 11 percent in Birmingham. Meanwhile, cities including Liverpool and Southampton reported no uptake among those surveyed.
