Up to
250 guests
Hold your wedding surrounded by thousands of years’ worth of stunning history.
Built when Colchester became the first Roman Capital of Britain, Colchester Castle is the biggest surviving Norman Keep in Europe. Ordered by William the Conqueror around 1076, it is built on the foundations of the earlier Roman Temple of Claudius, dating back to AD 54-50. It is home to over 2000 years’ worth of History, from Royalty to besieges, imprisonments, and executions.
The Chapel is by far the most popular place that our couples choose to exchange their vows. The high vaulted white ceilings give the space a stunning romantic and peaceful charm, and the tinted natural daylight which fills the room through the stained windows, adding to the ethereal atmosphere of the room.
Named after Charles Gray himself, the Charles Gray Room is the most popular private space within Colchester Castle to hold a wedding breakfast. It holds up to 80 seated guests, making it an appealing and intimate space for you to spend time with your family and friends.

January 2025What a brilliant experience! Staff were amazing! Definitely recommend doing the tour so check in advance for timings. I think it's on the hour, so you can start your visit to the museum while waiting for the tour to start. Our tour guide Roseanna (really hope I didn't butcher her name) was very knowledgeable and a great storyteller! All in all, don't miss out. Not too far from London.

February 2025Very nice experience. 12£ adults. Is very much worth for an additional 4 £/pp to do the tour with the tour guide to get full experience and see and hear something otherwise not available (acces to the voults). The garden next to the castle (castle park) is very nice, and it must be quite impressive when everything blooms .

February 2025The museum is an excellent, hands-on experience for kids, but also rich in historic information for adults. We sort much longer there than we anticipated because there was so much to see. A highlight of our trip.
