Glandyfi Castle

Located in the small hamlet of Glandyfi in Ceredigion, Glandyfi Castle is an intimate Grade II-listed wedding venue set within 40 acres of landscaped gardens and woodland. Hidden behind the historic “Great Wall of Glandyfi”, the castle offers exclusive hire for private and intimate wedding celebrations.

Overlooking the Dyfi Estuary with views towards Aberdyfi, the castle is close to the Ceredigion coast and within easy reach of Machynlleth and Aberystwyth.

Say your vows in one of the castle’s stunning indoor or outdoor ceremony spaces, all offering sweeping views of the Dyfi estuary and the rolling Welsh countryside. Ceremony spaces include the stunning indoor Atrium and the Dyfi Gardens outdoor ceremony area. For smaller ceremonies or elopements, The Drawing Room and The Library are also licensed for weddings. The venue welcomes ceremonies conducted by registrars, celebrants, or a combination of both, depending on your preference.

For religious ceremonies, St. Michael’s Church is located just one mile from the castle.

All packages include exclusive hire of the venue, which can host ceremonies for up to 80 guests, and a sit-down wedding breakfast for up to 50 guests.
