Allerton Castle - Wedding Venue & Tourist Attraction North Yorkshire - Knaresborough

The K. P.

Allerton Castle is, without a doubt, one of the most enchanting wedding venues I’ve ever had the pleasure of photographing. Nestled in the heart of North Yorkshire, this Gothic revival stately home exudes history, elegance, and grandeur, making it a perfect setting for a fairytale wedding. When I photograph a wedding here, the stunning architecture and picturesque grounds make every moment feel magical.

We had the absolute pleasure of photographing a wedding at Allerton Castle, and it was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, we were in awe of the castle's grandeur and charm. It feels like you’ve stepped right into a storybook, with beautiful architecture and lush grounds that provide a perfect backdrop for photos.
Allerton Castle is a photographer’s paradise and a perfect place for couples looking to have a fairytale wedding. We can’t wait to go back and create even more beautiful memories there!

Spectacular main hall to perform in for a wedding. I've performed here several times for weddings and it always makes an impression.
The staff are lovely and one of few venues that announce musicians, like myself, to guests for appreciation.
Back soon,

Fantastic gothic revival stately home open for visiting. We visited on a Tuesday (their open day) which was free flow in the morning. We returned to take advantage of the formal tour, which started with tea or coffee in the ballroom. The tour was led by Jane, a very knowledgeable & entertaining lady which lasted for 2 hours. Do check on their website the days of opening & cost, although HHA members are welcome for free.

Stunning. I can see why it’s a popular venue for events/special occasions.

Well maintained inside and out

Beautiful Beautiful house. The owner has done a fantastic job at restoration. It's breath taking. I'd highly recommend it for a wedding the photos would be gorgeous. The guide Linda was very knowledgeable and worth the £13.50 for the guided tour. Highly recommend it

We had our wedding at Allerton Castle in May and the experience was not only unforgettable and magical but also a breeze.

From the moment we saw photos of the castle we knew that was our venue. Sophie was our coordinator and she was so helpful the entire process. We were planning everything from the US, so we figured it was going to be very difficult to get this coordinated. We were wrong though. Sophie answered all of our questions swiftly and with detail. She had suggestions for us when we needed vendor advice, and the venue as a whole, was very flexible with any requests that we had. Bradshaw’s (catering for the venue) was equally as helpful and kind.

The venue is absolutely stunning. Every room more impressive than the last. Warning, we barely had guests dancing because they were too busy exploring and taking photos of the space itself.

On the actual wedding day, everything went without a hitch, and everyone was floored by the venue. It was a lot to ask of our guests to all fly in from the US, but we got an overwhelming response that it was worth the journey. We had dozens of guest tell us that they’d been to many weddings where the food was sub-par but that the food at Allerton (Bradshaws) was the best they’d had.

Thank you so much Allerton Castle for making this truly the most magical day in our lives

My first review two years ago read, "Absolutely breathtaking!" Having now married my wife at Allerton Castle, the memories I have are immense, and it's down to every single person that attended, the partners we employed for their services, and how incredibly well coordinated the team of wedding planners at Allerton Castle delivered the day! Allerton Castle will always be as stunning and perfect as it is, but it is the team behind the scenes deserve the biggest shout out! True perfection! Thank you, Jess, Libby and team!
