Join us for our February Wedding Viewing Days
If you’re newly engaged, deep in planning, or simply at the “just starting to look” stage, our February Wedding Viewing Days at Hillsborough Castle are the perfect opportunity to explore what your wedding here could look like.
There’s something really special about seeing a venue in person, walking the grounds, stepping into the rooms, and imagining your day unfolding in each space. Our viewing days are designed to be relaxed, welcoming and completely pressure-free. No hard sell, no rushed tours, just time to explore, ask questions and get a genuine feel for the castle and its beautiful surroundings.
If Hillsborough Castle is on your shortlist or even if you’re just curious, we’d love to welcome you. Appointments are limited and must be booked in advance, so do get in touch to secure your place. We look forward to meeting you and hearing all about your plans.
Appointments are available in 30-minute slots. During your visit, you’ll enjoy a private viewing of the castle and its stunning event spaces with one of our expert Event Planners. Afterwards, we invite you to explore the castle at your own pace and soak in the enchanting surroundings.
Schedule your appointment
During your appointment, you’ll be guided through our elegant indoor spaces and historic grounds, with plenty of opportunity to chat through your ideas, plans and priorities. Whether you’re envisioning a grand celebration, a relaxed garden reception, or something wonderfully in between, our team will be on hand to offer guidance, inspiration and honest advice based on your vision.
