HEVER CASTLE If the grandeur and splendour of a castle teamed with the aesthetic of a cosy country estate is what you ’ re after , then Hever Castle & Gardens is perfect for your winter wedding . While their sprawling gardens are the ideal backdrop for a summer celebration , in winter tie the knot in the castle or Astor wing instead . Surrounded by oak panelling , sumptuous decor and historical artefacts aplenty , there ’ s something truly magical about Hever , and it ’ s especially spellbinding for a winter wedding .
PENSHURST PLACE An Elizabethan country manor house set in 11 acres of gardens , Penshurst Place is a real fairytale venue , and during the winter months , weddings here become even more enchanting . Its 14th century Baron ’ s Hall is a breathtaking mediaeval room where couples can host their ceremony or feast , complete with crackling fires , foliage and candles for the perfect seasonal feel . Or , hold your reception in the Tudor banqueting room , where you can overlook the formal gardens and marvel in the surrounding scenery .
EASTWELL MANOR Eastwell Manor is spectacular for a wedding in any season , but there ’ s something extra special about it in wintertime . Perhaps it ’ s the tremendous Christmas tree bedecked with glistening decorations by the sweeping staircase , or maybe it ’ s the oak panelled reception rooms and open fireplace glowing with candles as you make your way down the aisle - but , whatever it is , this country manor house really is a sight to behold come the colder months .
