Brides and grooms to be and their families are being invited to Hever Castle and Gardens' first weddings showcase.

The three venues at the castle will be shut to day visitors and set up as they would be for a wedding allowing guests to wander at leisure.

Members of the wedding team will be on hand throughout the day to discuss the couple's requirements and answer any questions they may have.

A selection of Hever's recommended photographers, florists, wedding cake makers and DJs will showcase what's available, providing ideas for planning.

It's also a chance to meet Hever Castle's head chef and discuss menu options for the wedding breakfast while enjoying light refreshments washed down with a glass of bubbly.

The castle's three wedding venues offer very different facilities and experiences. The first is within the historic castle itself with a choice of the inner hall and the dining hall, the second is the oak panelled Tudor suite, the third is an award-winning Italian Garden.

Brides and grooms to be and their families are invited to Hever Castle & Gardens’ first Wedding Showcase on Saturday 24 January 2015, from 10.00am – 3.00pm. It’s a rare opportunity to see the romantic castle in Kent’s three venues set up as they would be for a wedding.

Those attending the event can take advantage of a ‘Wedding Showcase Special Offer’. It comprises a complimentary two night stay in Medley Court the night before and the night of your wedding for any weddings booked on the day and confirmed within ten working days.

To attend register in advance by emailing: weddings@hevercastle.co.uk stating name/s of those wishing to go and contact details.
