Our exciting project to restore the East Wing and provide a new exhibition gallery will start from early May 2024 until 2025. Areas of the building will not be open to the public during the works. Find out more on our Project Update page and check out What’s On.
Weddings and civil ceremonies
Steeped in history, Bruce Castle is a magnificent historic building providing a unique setting for your special day.
Situated in the lush green 20-acre surroundings of Bruce Castle Park, we have a range of spaces licensed for wedding ceremonies and civil partnerships - from the beautiful Compton Gallery, which seats up to 80 guests, to the intimate and romantic Tudor Tower, one of London’s most unusual wedding venues.
Rooms available
The 18th century rooms of the Compton Gallery, Coleraine Gallery and East Wing Gallery are registered for both wedding and civil partnership ceremonies, offering an atmospheric backdrop to your special day. Also registered is the Sir Rowland Hill Lecture Hall and our newly-restored Tudor Tower.
Please note that due to restoration works the East Wing Gallery is unavailable.
