Information

Bolton Castle is a spectacular medieval fortress in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The castle is open from Easter until the end of October and is available for private hire throughout the year. We cater for school groups, offering anything from a guided tour to a full medieval education day, including costumes, a banquet and a range of activities. We offer themed events such as Sir John Savile’s Household Weekend, a medieval re-enactment camp. Our gardens are second to none and our ghosts are well worth a visit for any paranormal investigators.

We have Civil Wedding, drinks and entertainment licenses. If you choose Bolton Castle as your wedding venue, you can have the ceremony and then the reception - we offer exclusive hire of the castle with the wedding package. We have a list of preferred suppliers and can reccommend some very good event managers. Please contact us to discuss your personal requirements. The gardens feature high stone walls and medieval planting, making for a beautiful and fragrant outdoor venue.
