For an idyllic and fairytale wedding venue you can't beat Caverswall Castle in Staffordshire, England. Built in 1275 by Sir William-de-Caverswall (who is mentioned in the legends of King Arthur's court) this is a location that will suit brides with a taste for romance, drama and splendour.

Available on an exclusive basis only, the castle is licensed for civil weddings and can accommodate up to 70 seated guests. Your reception can be held in the Dungeon rooms, which can hold up to 90 people, or for a smaller group the dining room can seat 22 people. There are also loads of gorgeous settings for magnificent photographs, including the castle battlements and an olde-worlde moat.

Your day doesn't have to end when the reception is over. Make like a medieval Princess and sleep over. There is accommodation for 22 people, including four turret cottages and seven superbly designed bedrooms, beautifully furnished in period style.

Rates for a days exclusive use range from around £3000 to about £5000. Contact the castle for more detailed information.
