Allerton Castle - Wedding Venue & Tourist Attraction North Yorkshire

An incredibly beautiful castle. A stunning atmosphere, thanks to the super-hospitable caretakers! Cozy, luxurious, warm, and completely open to hospitality! If you're celebrating life's events with the people you love, this is the perfect place! Thank you for the time you spent with us!

Absolutely incredible experience! The castle itself is breathtaking, but what truly amazed me was the trust—we were left completely free to explore, with every room open for us to use during our photoshoot. It felt so unique and special, unlike any other castle I’ve visited. Everything was spotless, warm, and so well cared for. The gardens were like something out of a fairytale—lush green grass and perfectly kept grounds. This photoshoot was unforgettable, and I’ll always remember how magical it felt. Alerton Castle is truly one of a kind.

☕ The guided building tour begins with coffee and biscuits, a welcome bit of fortification before embarking on a captivating journey that stretches over two hours. The tour delves into the lives of past residents, weaving together stories of grandeur and decline. Once a proud home, the property eventually fell into disrepair—until Dr. Rolph stepped in. In 1983, he purchased the building and began a painstaking restoration, returning it to its former glory not once, but twice—after a devastating fire threatened to erase his efforts. Highly recommend, but do book in advance.

Not in the actual Stately home, although a wedding was taking place on the Sunday and I saw the bride posing for fotos on the garden steps. I was in the parkland that encircled the wonderful building with other members of the North Yorkshire Driving Club. We had a great weekend and the weather favoured us most of the time.

Having National Trust and English Heritage cards we are always a bit loathe to go somewhere we have to pay but this was well worth the money. Only £7.50 which includes a free cuppa and biscuits. This place was an absolutely beautiful restoration job. A testament to the skills that still remain in the world. We spent a good two hours there. The staff are lovely. Only open on a Tuesday from 10-1 or a guided tour at 2. And it looks like an amazing wedding venue.
