Familiar to millions of people around the world as Downton Abbey, Highclere Castle is actually still a family home. The castle is as spectacular in person as it appears on TV, with grounds to match and a stunning high-ceilinged saloon and well-stocked library inside.
Weddings at Highclere Castle are solely at the discretion of the Earl and Countess of Carnarvon, whose family have owned the estate for centuries, so getting married at Highclere isn't something that happens every day. Weddings aren't usually permitted in the summer months, so cosying up inside and enjoying the beautiful castle from the inside is the best option. With so many exceptional features, Highclere Castle is a wedding designer's dream!
