Castle Howard

About the venue

Castle Howard is one of Britain's finest historic houses and is still home to my family whose forebears conceived, designed, and built it over three centuries ago.

In this, the 21st century, the business flourishing on the estate means we are able to preserve, conserve, restore and improve not only the many fine buildings, but also the landscape in which those edifices reside. I hope this site provides you with the information you seek. Indeed, I hope it encourages you to visit us and see for yourself how this magnificent enterprise has adapted into that which exists today. Castle Howard has been entertaining guests for over 300 years and our tradition of warm hospitality and inspirational entertaining continues in strength today. Each year we welcome many clients to our magnificent house and gardens. Often they are looking for a unique venue and we pride ourselves on being able to offer exclusive use of several locations within the House; including the Great Hall, Grecian Hall and Long Gallery, as well as a choice of exclusive event sites within the grounds and gardens.
