About Belvoir Castle
Belvoir Castle is a breathtaking historic castle wedding venue in Leicestershire, offering a truly romantic setting for weddings and civil ceremonies. Set high above the countryside near Grantham, the castle features grand state rooms, stunning gardens and a picturesque lakeside marquee. With bespoke planning, in-house catering and exclusive-use options, Belvoir Castle is ideal for luxury and fairytale weddings.
At Belvoir, couples work with the venue team to select from a range of curated wedding packages that include choices for ceremonies and receptions, and the planning process involves the venue’s staff and recommended suppliers to coordinate catering and service.
The castle itself has a licence for civil ceremonies, and drinks receptions and canapés can be shared in various indoor and outdoor spaces on the estate. Formal meals and receptions take place within the castle’s state rooms or other event spaces selected with the couple, and the day’s celebrations can continue in more relaxed rooms below the main floors. Guests may enjoy access to the castle’s gardens and grounds before or after the formal parts of the day.
Belvoir’s setting on a historic estate with gardens and layered interiors provides a range of spaces for different parts of a wedding day, and the venue team can help tailor the sequence of events to suit a couple’s preferences as part of their booking and planning.
Beyond the structure of the day itself, there is a sense of continuity woven through every corridor and courtyard. Morning light fills the tall windows as preparations begin, creating a calm and considered start to the celebrations. As the day progresses, conversation and music move easily between the castle’s grand rooms and its more intimate spaces, each setting offering a distinct atmosphere while remaining connected. Seasonal florals, thoughtful lighting, and carefully timed transitions help shape a celebration that feels seamless and personal. By evening, the glow of candlelight and the warmth of gathered family and friends bring a sense of closeness to the grandeur, allowing the occasion to feel both impressive and deeply meaningful. From the first welcome to the final farewell, each moment is guided with care, so couples can focus on one another and the significance of the promises they have made.

Our Sustainability Commitments
Belvoir Castle and its wider estate are committed to caring for the land and reducing environmental impact as part of their long-term stewardship of this historic property. As part of this commitment, the estate supports sustainable farming practices and champions local produce through its farm shop at the retail village, where visitors can buy seasonal goods grown on the estate and from nearby producers. In an effort to reduce waste and honour the beauty of the estate’s woodlands, timber from managed tree work and estate wood is thoughtfully repurposed rather than discarded; skilled craftspeople transform this reclaimed wood into small, handcrafted trinkets and keepsakes that are sold in the farm shop, giving new life to what might otherwise become waste and offering guests something truly unique that reflects Belvoir’s connection to place and nature. These initiatives sit alongside other conservation-focused activities on the estate, such as careful land management and support for biodiversity, helping ensure that the castle’s surroundings thrive for generations of visitors to enjoy.
