Address
Rose Castle, Dalston, Carlisle, Cumbria, CA5 7BY
If you are considering — or have already booked — your wedding at Rose Castle in Cumbria, you have chosen a venue with a history stretching back over six centuries.
Rose Castle is a genuine medieval castle with a recorded wedding history dating back to 1425, when John de Clifford married Elizabeth de Dacre. Over the centuries, the castle has hosted countless weddings — including those of notable historical figures — and each has added to the rich tapestry of stories embedded in its ancient stonework.
In its earliest days, weddings at Rose Castle were simple affairs — vows exchanged in the castle chapel, followed by a feast in the Great Hall. By the 18th century, celebrations had become more elaborate, with the castle adorned in flowers and candlelight and the bridal party dressed in finest gowns and suits.
Today, Rose Castle remains one of Cumbria's most extraordinary wedding venues. Couples can exchange vows in the chapel, the Great Hall, or the gardens, with receptions held indoors or amidst the beautifully maintained grounds. The castle's stunning architecture, manicured gardens, and centuries of history create a backdrop that is impossible to replicate — a truly memorable setting for a wedding day.
