Thornbury Castle boasts the best-preserved Tudor gardens in England. With the backdrop of the grand castle and surrounding wisteria and English roses, the grounds here offer the perfect big-day setting.

The honeymoon destination of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, this venue is steeped in history. From the original mounting steps where Henry VIII would have stood, to the feature oriel windows, there are endless of fairytale features. Each bedchamber allows guests to step back in time, with four-poster beds and exposed stone walls.

Let's celebrate!
