Our flexible approach means that you can choose where your Ceremony takes place, and where your guests dine, celebrate and party. When you book your wedding at Farnham Castle, our wedding venue is exclusively yours - from our historic Lantern Hall, to our elegant Winchester Suite, and from our stunning Great Hall to our magnificent Great Lawn. We also host outdoor ceremonies on our East Lawn, overlooking our White Rose Garden, and if you’d like a Religious Ceremony at Farnham Castle we offer two beautiful Chapels from very different architectural periods.
