Allerton Castle is a Grade I listed building and certain restrictions need to apply in accordance with guidelines of English Heritage, Health and Safety and fire regulations to ensure the protection of the property, its fabric, fixtures and furnishings for your heritage, and for your safety and that of your guests.

Location Allerton Castle is located between Harrogate and York in . We are less than half a mile from the A1M, junction 47, which is very convenient for guests travelling from the North or South. You cannot see us from the A1M or see the motorway from the Castle. There are lots of Hotels and B&B’s with a range of accommodation close by.

Booking

We would love to meet with you and show you around the castle and can hold a date for you for 2 weeks whilst you consider your options. On booking we ask for a non-refundable deposit of £1500 to confirm your wedding day. A further payment of £3500 is due 60 days before your wedding celebration. The balance, plus any upgrades, and a bond of £1000 are due 30 days before your wedding celebration. As guest numbers are likely to change, we ask for final guest numbers to be confirmed by 14 days before your wedding.

Ceremonies and Blessings

You can upgrade your package to include a Civil Ceremony or Blessing for up to 100 guests at £800 + VAT, this fee includes set up/tables and chairs/licence. For a Civil Ceremony you must make all arrangements with the Harrogate registrar. We would recommend this be done as early as possible, as availability may be limited. (Tel: 01609 780780).

Your Day

The package fee paid is for the day of your wedding celebration from 1pm (12 noon if a ceremony or blessing). If there has been no event the day before, the bridal party can have early access to the Palace Suite from 10am. We strive to be as flexible as possible for you and, your Wedding planner will work closely with you on the timings and finer details of your day. Last orders are called at 11.15pm. Bar closes at 11.30pm with dancing until 11.45pm and carriages at 12 midnight. We ask that all suppliers, such as band, when breaking down on the night of the wedding, have all their items outside and ready for departure by 12:30am. Please note, there might be a charge issued to the couple, which should be discussed with suppliers, regarding this departure time. Please ask a member of staff for more details about this circumstance. Cars can be left overnight in the car park until 10:30am the following day.

Guest Numbers

Due to complete exclusivity, we ask for a minimum number of adult day guests, please see page 2. We are able to consider bespoke packages for ceremony only or marquee weddings, as well as reduced times or late availability bookings. The maximum number of guests is 100 for a Civil Ceremony or Blessing in the Great Hall and for dining in the Ballroom and we can host a total of 120 guests in the Great Hall for an evening reception. Wedding Rehearsal

Our spectacular bridal entrance down the Great Hall staircase can appear a little daunting, and we therefore offer you, and up to 8 guests, a 30-minute wedding rehearsal for you to practice the stairs with your wedding shoes and chosen music. Your wedding planner can arrange this with you as convenient, be it the week or the day before, depending on availability.

Chidren

Children are very welcome; however, they must always be under parental supervision. If you have 10 or more children under the age of 13 attending, we recommend you engage professional childcare to ensure that children are always entertained. Unfortunately, due to Health and Safety risks Children are not allowed upstairs on the gallery, except where part of the bridal party and are not permitted to stay overnight. Please ask a member of staff for more information if you have any questions regarding the child safeguarding policy.

Allerton Castle Bedrooms

The Palace Suite is included within your Wedding package and is available for day use for pre- ceremony preparations, such as dressing and for use by the Wedding couple only throughout the day. If preferred, it is possible to use the Tudor Room with one of the Tudor Bedrooms instead or upgrade to add one or both Tudor Rooms for day use only from 12noon. You can choose to stay overnight on the evening of your wedding in the Palace suite for £400 + VAT. We ask that overnight guests retire by 12:30am and to depart by 10.30am the following morning.

Castle Quirks

We do allow confetti, but we ask for Biodegradable and that is thrown outside only please. We regret that party poppers are not permitted and in the event of confetti or petals being thrown inside there may be a clean-up charge deducted from your bond. To preserve the oak floors English Heritage requires that all high heels must be larger than a postage stamp, or that heel protectors are worn on slim heeled shoes. Our staff can provide heel protectors at a cost of £3 per pair and this charge can be deductible from your Bond.

Food and Drink

Catering on the day is provided by Bradshaws of York whose friendly and professional team aim to provide you with the most delicious food and excellent service. With a flexible attitude towards your menu, please speak to them directly to discuss your choices. Please note they will also be able to advise on the presence of any allergens in your chosen menu and can provide you with a full “Allergen Checklist.” You are very welcome to bring your own Wedding Cake, which we are happy to cut and serve for you at no extra charge, however consumption of own food and drink is not permitted within the Castle or its grounds (except babies). Due to our licensing restrictions we cannot allow corkage. Health and Hygiene regulations state that leftover food cannot be taken away (except Wedding Cake).

We strongly suggest you take out wedding insurance to include £5m public liability damage cover. You are responsible for any damage caused at Allerton Castle by you, your guests or suppliers and insurance cover will give you peace of mind. A L L E R T O N C A S T L E
