Clearwell Castle

A magnificent castle hidden in the stunning Forest of Dean.

Nestled in the Forest of Dean in the tiny village of Clearwell, the venue is conveniently located only 45 minutes from Bristol, Cheltenham and Gloucester. The journey up to the venue is as impressive as the castle itself. A sweeping tree-lined driveway leads to a magnificent Portcullis, perfect for a photo opportunity with the castle turrets in the background. From there, take a short drive along the manicured grounds and be greeted by stately front steps up to the historical entrance.

Choose between the church-like Ball Room or the al-fresco Bandstand with its very own Castle backdrop...

The golden 75-foot long aisle, raised dais and leaded lancet windows, all add to the charm of the Ballroom, whilst the Bandstand provides the perfect Fairy tale Castle setting.

There are 15 luxurious castle bedrooms, three estate cottages, and 24 newly refurbished guest rooms just a short stroll away at The Wyndham.

A family-owned and run business with over 30 years' experience of making wedding day dreams come true.

Clearwell Castle is part of Country House Weddings Ltd, a family-owned and run wedding venue group that has collectively held over 10,000 weddings in its four exclusive-use venues since its conception. The chairman and founder, Harry Bramer, still presides over the business today, with the help and support of his family and an accomplished team, all of whom are dedicated to one thing: your perfect wedding.
