Lympne Castle

Civil Weddings at Lympne Castle

The West Drawing Room, whilst echoing the majesty of the mediaeval castle, belongs to a different era. It was added in Edwardian times when the famous architect Sir Robert Lorimer was commissioned to restore the castle, which was then near to ruin. As you enter the room your attention is immediately drawn to the view from the huge bow window overlooking the south east coast. Wood panelling and a stone fireplace lend the room an imposing yet welcoming atmosphere.

This room can sit approximately 80 guests. Reception drinks follow the ceremony where our dedicated staff will serve drinks and attend to your guests.

The wedding Breakfast will take place in the glorious Great Hall or for the smaller more intimate wedding the West Wing Drawing Room.

In the Great Hall with its part panelled walls, wooden roof beams and gothic arched windows you can imagine hearing the lively talk, clank of goblets and music of bygone feasts. This room is ideal for a larger civil wedding party, seating up to 120 guests.

About Lympne Castle

Lympne Castle is enchanting - the historic architecture weaves its magic and you can believe that you are part of a fairy tale. You approach the castle via the huge stone North Gate and alight in the courtyard within the main castle. The wedding party passes through into the West Drawing Room, which, with its oak panelling and open fire, is the perfect setting for the solemnity of the wedding service.

Personal Service and attention to detail are all hallmarks of Lympne Castle's excellent reputation.
