HIRE A VENUE

Set amidst the ancient Royal Forest and Park of Drum, on the periphery of Royal Deeside, Drum Castle combines medieval history, Jacobean romance and Victorian opulence to striking effect, and is within easy reach of Aberdeen.

Weddings at Drum Castle

Within the castle, the beautifully restored Library is an elegant setting for civil, religious and humanist weddings. In addition, nestling in the grounds and surrounded by remnants of the ancient oak forest, Drum's 16th-century chapel is available for religious ceremonies.

During spring and summer, the Garden of Historic Roses is a feast for the senses: a kaleidoscope of colour and sweet with the scent of flowers from around the world. A romantic setting for alfresco weddings and photography, the walled garden also offers picturesque surroundings for drinks receptions, family gatherings or simply a relaxing stroll before being seated to dinner in the castle's richly appointed Dining Room.

For larger wedding receptions, a marquee can be erected in the grounds.

Corporate

Bright and spacious and with spectacular views across the historic lawns, Drum’s elegant public rooms are ideal for receptions, dinners, cultural events and private gatherings. Protected by 12ft-thick walls, and adorned by family portraits and exquisite furniture, each room tells its own story.

Exclusive private tours of the castle, medieval tower house and historic gardens are available by prior arrangement.

For maximum versatility a marquee can be erected in the grounds.
