Hertford Castle brings everything you need in one location, with exclusive hire and a memorable backdrop in which to host every moment of your Wedding from your ceremony through to your reception. We can welcome up to 60 guests for a ceremony and seated reception and 100 guests for a more informal reception gathering.

Whether you are celebrating a special birthday, a christening, or the life of a loved one who has passed, Hertford Castle offers the perfect setting to create lasting memories. The Downshire Suite can be hired exclusively and you have the choice and freedom to select your own caterers and suppliers.

Hertford Castle and the surrounding greenspaces have been a prominent feature of the county town for hundreds of years, featuring stunning grounds, 12th Century curtain wall, Anglo-Saxon motte, and much more.
The heritage and wildlife engrained into the site are what makes Hertford Castle a truly special place.
Hertford Castle Greenspace Renewal (HCGR) aims to promote the sites rich history, improve access across the site, and increase biodiversity - the grounds of Hertford Castle will be transformed by a ‘once in a generation’ investment of £3.5 million, from The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
