Powderham Castle is a 600-year-old castle in a deer park overlooking the Exe Estuary, available for exclusive use, with a licensed chapel and rooms on site.
Powderham Castle stands in a deer park above the Exe Estuary in Devon, at the centre of an estate of 3,500 acres that includes farms, woodland and three miles of foreshore. The castle is some 600 years old and is available for exclusive use on the wedding day. Garden terraces and wide lawns surround it, and the views run across the water.
The chapel is licensed for civil ceremonies and blessings, and couples may also marry in the eighteenth-century Pavilion in the Woodland Garden, the White Drawing Room or the Staircase Hall. For receptions, the Rose Garden Terrace suits champagne in summer, while the Dining Room and the Music Room offer decorated settings for colder months. A honeymoon suite lets the newlyweds stay on site and take a full breakfast overlooking the deer park and estuary, and the eight rooms in the Stables sleep up to 15 wedding guests. The team can recommend trusted suppliers who have worked at the castle.
