Rockingham Castle

About the venue

As an early defensive position dating back to Saxon times, Rockingham Castle has reward of being in a magnificent setting, dominating the local landscape.

The sweep of the lush parkland and meadows has replaced the dense forest of the Middle Ages and the years have mellowed the colours of the ironstone, while the sun's reflection off the limestone gives the Castle a luminous quality as it nestles into the hillside. For centuries Rockingham Castle has entertained royalty and private guests within its ancient walls. The history and tradition continue today. Walker's House, within the original curtain wall of the Castle, provided a high standard of catering and the building has recently been refurbished to provide full conference facilities with meeting rooms, a conference room and dining room. The medieval Great Hall, built in around 1200, is a superb room for a dinner. We can seat 60 guests at traditional round tables in this dramatic room with its vast open fire, or up to 30 on one long medieval table. The adjacent Panel Room can be used for reception drinks prior to moving in to the Great Hall for dinner.
