Hensol Castle

About Hensol Castle

With its 17th-century Gothic architecture, Hensol Castle is a Grade I listed building set within 650 acres of countryside in the Vale of Glamorgan. The estate features a 15-acre lake, providing a notable backdrop for photography from its pontoon. The castle’s turrets and castellations are the result of centuries of development, creating a distinctive setting for a wedding day. Offering wedding ceremonies, breakfast and receptions all in one wonderful historic wedding venue.

Ceremonies and receptions take place within the castle itself, with a choice of licensed spaces for different styles and guest numbers. The Old Hall, with its high ceilings and period detail, provides a formal setting for larger celebrations, while more intimate rooms offer alternatives for smaller gatherings. After the ceremony, drinks can be served on the lawns overlooking the lake before moving through to the wedding breakfast and evening reception.

The castle works on an exclusive-use basis, so the building and grounds are reserved entirely for one couple and their guests. On-site accommodation is available within the castle, allowing close family and friends to stay overnight and continue the celebrations the following morning.

Wedding packages are designed to guide couples through the structure of the day, from ceremony through to evening reception, with in-house catering and a dedicated team coordinating the details. The combination of historic architecture, private grounds and lake views shapes a wedding day that unfolds across distinctive spaces, all within one estate.
