Hold your wedding surrounded by thousands of years’ worth of stunning history.
Built when Colchester became the first Roman Capital of Britain, Colchester Castle is the biggest surviving Norman Keep in Europe. Ordered by William the Conqueror around 1076, it is built on the foundations of the earlier Roman Temple of Claudius, dating back to AD 54-50. It is home to over 2000 years’ worth of History, from Royalty to besieges, imprisonments, and executions.
The Chapel is by far the most popular place that our couples choose to exchange their vows. The high vaulted white ceilings give the space a stunning romantic and peaceful charm, and the tinted natural daylight which fills the room through the stained windows, adding to the ethereal atmosphere of the room.
Named after Charles Gray himself, the Charles Gray Room is the most popular private space within Colchester Castle to hold a wedding breakfast. It holds up to 80 seated guests, making it an appealing and intimate space for you to spend time with your family and friends.

    Colchester castle was a lot of fun with a 3 and an 8 year old! We explored the whole museum which we found to be very hands on and enjoyable. We also did the vault tour which was excellent! The castle is wheelchair/pushchair accessible, however the vaults and roof tour require steps and lots of crouching through small tunnels. There are toilets on site but no cafe, however there is a picnic room where you can eat your own food comfortably. We would definitely visit again, and in the nicer weather the surrounding park would be fun to explore further!
