Receptions Rooms

Durhamstown Castle is the ideal venue for your celbration. On arrival you will be welcomed into the informal and charming atmosphere of our family home with tea and coffee. We undertake all the arrangements during your stay and take huge pride in our hosting and our house with twenty acres to play in outside!

The enfilade layout of the rooms, with large drawing room, music room, dining room and spacious hall, will be perfect for your celebration. Just imagine the enjoyment of your first glass of champagne as husband and wife in this setting. It allows for people to have quiet chats in the music room or naturally elegant sitting room and then rejoin the throng for some dancing in the Great Barn!

We cater for celbrations large and small. The Castle Dining room can hold up to thirty for a Banquet. Larger celebrations are held in the Great Barn which can hold 40-150 guests. We've had both and they work equally well For smaller groups we divide the Great Barn into dining, dancing and the bar relaxing areas. It works a treat.

The castle is set up to sleep 20, additional beds can be added to the larger bedrooms.
We cater for groups of 70 to 150 in the barn.

Durhamstown Castle as a venue can cater for many types of event. Use our booking form to make inquiries and check availability.
