Thornbury Castle in England blends Tudor history with luxury. Once home to royalty, it offers opulent stays, beautiful gardens, and picturesque backdrops, perfect for unforgettable getaways or weddings.
Dating back to 1510, Thornbury Castle was once the honeymoon destination of none other than Henry V111 and Anne Boleyn. Nestled on the edge of the Cotswolds and in close proximity to Bristol and Bath, Thornbury Castle is an easily accessible yet exclusive wedding venue. Set within its own stunning grounds and walled gardens, our Tudor castle offers the perfect backdrop for a fairy-tale wedding.
Whether you’re looking for a grand showstopper on your big day, allowing you exclusive use of the whole castle and its grounds, or a more intimate celebration with a handful of loved ones, our expert team are ready to help you create a truly magical day.
What could be more perfect than waking up in the castle on your wedding day? Our gift to you is a complimentary bridal suite the night before. Enjoy breakfast in bed and bring all of your bridesmaids together for hair and makeup with a bucks fizz.
Our suites have everything you need to start your special day in style, with a wealth of space for your photographer to capture those special moments. Say ‘I do’ in a truly unique setting that’s perfect for you. Choose between the elegant large church adjacent to the castle, timeless rose garden with a quaint gazebo, historic Tudor hall or intimate library. Our wedding team can discuss the best options for your party size.
Sit down as a newly married couple to enjoy a three-course wedding breakfast with all your loved ones. Our delicious menus are created by our head chef using the freshest of ingredients with the perfect wine pairings.
Seating up to a maximum of 70 guests, our Tudor Hall is a beautiful historic backdrop with its private bar and late license. Boasting 26 luxurious bedchambers we encourage your guests to stay overnight (with preferential rates) and experience the true magic of the castle, which will extend the party into the next day and beyond.

Our deluxe and superior deluxe rooms feature rich period detailing and luxurious contemporary comforts, while our suites offer a truly unique experience.
The Henry VIII Suite once hosted King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn in 1535 and overlooks the oldest Tudor Gardens in England. Relive history and stay in this beautiful four-poster bed suite. The room boasts an open fireplace and en-suite bathroom and can be reached via the original spiral stone staircase.
Found, somewhat fittingly, at the very top of the South Wing Tower, the Catherine of Aragon Suite is in every sense the top suite in the castle.
Once you’ve climbed the atmospheric spiral staircase and pushed open the grand wooden door, you’re greeted by exceptional features artfully presented across a decadent 71 square metres of living space. This encompasses 24-carat gilding, sumptuous Tudor furnishings, silk wall hangings and, at the heart of it all, the most enormous four-poster bed of any UK hotel.
