Weddings
Highcliffe Castle is set in a magnificent 14 acre park on the cliff top at Highcliffe on Sea. We are conveniently located for many of the area’s finest hotels and restaurants with accommodation for guests ranging from the very best 5 star hotels to New Forest camp-sites – something suitable for every style and budget.
We are approximately 10 miles from Bournemouth International Airport and the M27 motorway for London, 1 mile from Hinton Admiral Train Station and are situated close to both Bournemouth and the New Forest.
The marriage ceremony is held in the beautiful Wintergarden. If you are only having your ceremony here, the fee is for use of the Wintergarden, Drawing Room and Grounds for up to one and half-hours. Within the fee we provide flowers in the Wintergarden, use of the Castle piano and use of a reserved parking area.
Weddings are conducted at 11am, 1pm and 3.30pm and may be held any day of the week. The 11am and 1pm ceremonies are designed for couples wishing to hold their reception elsewhere. The 3.30pm ceremony is dedicated to couples who wish to stay and have their wedding breakfast and reception in the Castle. After any ceremony we are able to serve drinks whilst photography is taking place.
We regret that confetti or rice (including the biodegradable varieties e.g. rose petals, rice paper) is not permitted to be thrown or used as table decorations in the Castle. Wedding bubbles make a good alternative and are available from the Castle gift shop.
The Castle is available for weddings and receptions all year (currently closed Xmas/NY period) although in winter months please bear in mind that the Castle has only limited heating and outdoor lighting.
