Bolton Castle has offered weddings and private hire for a number of years alongside its commitment to welcoming visitors during its open season. Now, this beautiful location has been shortlisted in the North of England Wedding Awards for the Countryside Venue award. What makes these awards special is that it's only couples who've tied the knot at the venue who are eligible to vote, so as a small venue, the team are delighted to have been recognised among other much larger venues in the region.

The Castle's GM, Jacqui Naylor says, “To be a finalist in such awards is a real boost for the entire team who ensure weddings at Bolton Castle exceed all expectations of our couples, as well as their  family and their friends. The fact that those who've had direct experience of our wedding offering have voted for us is excellent news. We want every wedding to be the memorable and wonderful event everyone imagines, and this shortlisting is testament to the hard work we put in for our couples.

“As a much-loved visitor attraction, we work hard to bring a programme of excellent visitor events between March and November, with weddings and private event hire offered all year round. To date, it has worked well and whether our couples opt for private or shared hire, the castle provides a fairytale day whatever their plans or budget. The awards are yet to be announced but we feel we've already won with our shortlisting.”
