Wedding Receptions
The Castle original castle blueprint was designed with the intention of entertaining, with transitions between spaces having deliberate fluidity. This organic progression allows your wedding to unfold seamlessly, inviting your guests on a thoughtfully choreographed journey between rooms.
The Library and South Lawns
Following the ceremony, the Library unfurls onto the South Lawns, with an extensive array of canapés and drinks available. Both spaces provide spectacular views of the Herefordshire countryside, creating a natural dispersal point for guests as you steal away to the gardens for your wedding portraits. Later in the evening, the Library emerges as the perfect space for relaxed conversations, extending the celebration beyond the formal boundaries of the wedding breakfast.
The Grand Ballroom
The Ballroom serves as the locus for celebrations, adapting seamlessly from wedding breakfast to evening celebration. Its expansive design allows 120 guests to move, dine, and dance with ease, while architectural details capture the character of Hampton Castle. Here, traditional dining gives way to spirited dancing, and a ceremonial sword awaits to mark your cake-cutting—a distinctive touch that adds a layer of theatre to your evening.
Coningsby Hall
Evening dining unfolds in the Drawthrough, with outdoor seating extending into the picturesque Central Courtyard. Coningsby Hall offers an alternative indoor setting, immersing guests in the atmosphere of a medieval banqueting hall. The space transforms your twilight meal into a distinctive culinary experience.
The Bar
The bar serves as a hub for socialising, strategically positioned beneath the grand, central staircase with its lofty ceiling. Its design ensures guests remain connected to the main reception rooms, creating a natural gathering point that pulses with the energy of the evening.
