St Donat's Castle

The castle, owned by UWC Atlantic College is available outside of the college seasons for weddings between the end of May and beginning of August each year. To ensure exclusivity, we only take one wedding per day with the romantic castle and gardens hired on a midday to midnight basis for you and your guests.

Hiring the castle for your special day includes use of the Bradenstoke Hall, Rose, Blue and Beast gardens, Top Lawn (with sea views), Inner Courtyard, Great Hall and a designated changing room on the day of the wedding. The Bradenstoke Hall can accommodate 160 guests for a wedding breakfast and 200 guests for an evening party. In addition to the castle rooms there is also space in the extensive grounds for a marquee seating up to 400.

If you wish to get married at St Donat’s Castle, several of its rooms and gardens are licensed for wedding ceremonies and civil partnerships including the inner courtyard which is a popular area for outdoor ceremonies and drink receptions. Onsite is also the charming St Donat’s Church which can accommodate a wedding ceremony for up to 110 guests.
