Front entrance of red-brick wedding venue Rowton Castle in Shropshire.
 

Rowton Castle, a captivating 17th-century Grade II-listed venue located just outside Shrewsbury, offers a romantic and exclusive-use setting for your wedding. Set amidst seventeen acres of peaceful grounds, it boasts breathtaking views of the Shropshire countryside and luxurious accommodation for a memorable celebration.

The castle's gardens and grounds provide a stunning backdrop for weddings, featuring walled gardens, shady woodland walks, and hidden pools. Rambling roses climbing the castle walls and the fountain gracing the driveway enhance the venue's timeless charm.

For outdoor ceremonies in the warmer months, the Linden Belvedere offers a gorgeous setting, backed by a majestic avenue of lime trees and surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens. Alternatively, the sunny Cardeston Suite, with its elegant Georgian design, is perfect for indoor ceremonies and receptions. The room’s ornate fireplace, intricately carved pelmets, and striking chandeliers are sure to leave a lasting impression on your guests. For more intimate ceremonies, the classical 18th-century-style Jaci Vianna room, with its gilded and painted panelling, provides an elegant setting to exchange vows.
