Venue special features: This Grade 1 listed building nestles in 20 acres of gardens and parkland, situated on the outskirts of the historic market town of Barnard Castle, amidst stunning Teesdale scenery.
Weddings can take place in exquisitely decorated rooms with lofty ceilings and grand pillars.
Venue History: Created by local man John Bowes and his French wife Josiphine, they shared a passion and love of art which led to the building of this purpose built Museum that opened in 1892.
Today the magnificent chateau houses the greatest collection of European fine and decorative arts in the North of England. These are displayed in exquisitely decorated rooms with lofty ceilings and grand pillars.
Wedding Trivia:
BRIDESMAIDS DRESSES
The tradition of bridesmaids dressing the same as each other and in similar style to the bride comes from ancient days when it was believed that evil spirits have a more difficult time distinguishing which one is the bride and putting a hex on her.
