Wedding Open Day

If you are looking for the ultimate romantic location for your wedding, why not come along to Edinburgh Castle’s Wedding Open Day on Saturday 13th October 2013?

The event is taking place from 11:00 to 4:00 pm and will showcase the five beautiful venues on offer, from the 12th century St Margaret’s Chapel, the oldest building in Edinburgh, to the elegant Queen Anne Room situated in the heart of the castle in Crown Square.

Anyone interested in attending will be asked to pre-register in advance of the day by sending an email to hs.weddings@scotland.gsi.gov.uk with the lead name of the wedding party and how many will be attending.

Nick Finnigan, Executive Manager of Edinburgh Castle said: “Edinburgh Castle, home to the Scottish Crown Jewels, is one of the most romantic locations in Scotland.

“With award-winning catering, panoramic views across the city and beyond and stunning settings steeped in history, getting married at Edinburgh Castle is sure to provide the perfect day.”

When guests arrive on the Esplanade at Edinburgh Castle, they will be requested to cross the Drawbridge, into the main entrance area.

They will then collect their tickets from the 19th century Gatehouse Suite, which will be sign-posted and is the first location on the tour. It is accessed by entering the door immediately on the right after crossing the drawbridge, and up the spiral stairs.

Ticket are available for collection from 10:45 until 3:00 pm.
