The 17th century castle will be hosting the preview from 11am-3pm to offer a unique opportunity to look around this magical and popular venue, including the two romantic rooms licensed for civil weddings and partnership ceremonies inside the delightful medieval-style Little Castle - and two areas just outside, perfect for summer weddings.

Some of the castle's accredited suppliers, including caterers with delicious samples of drinks and canapes, a wedding cake supplier, dress designer, florists, a singer and a harpist, plus a wedding photographer, will all be exhibiting within the castle.
Think of a picture-book castle with golden ancient stone walls standing proudly high above the beautiful Vale of Scarsdale. Imagine dashing cavaliers, beautiful ladies in flowing gowns and historic romance. Then visualise your wedding day taking on the same fairytale charm. If you yearn for stunning historic surroundings mixing medieval magic with 17th century adventure and passion, then Bolsover Castle will be your ideal wedding day location.
By choosing a superb historic location for your celebrations, you bring the echoes of the people and events that have shaped it though the centuries, to give your day a deeper, more meaningful quality.
Sitting snugly within high walls, it is the Little Castle, which is at the heart of Bolsover Castle. With its towers and turrets, it is every inch a medieval castle in miniature, even though it was built in 1612 – and the choice of many couples as the magical setting for their wedding ceremony.
