Auckland Castle (Auckland Palace)

Auckland Castle has been the palace of the Prince Bishops of Durham for over 900 years. The Castle was the seat of power in the North East of England and after the Norman Conquest and the subsequent Harrying of the North, the Bishop of Durham was granted exceptional powers to act as a political and military leader. The Castle is also available for private events, should you wish to discuss a private hire of the castle for everything from a small dinner party to a charity ball we shall be able to cater your needs. Auckland Castle is also a beautiful and dramatic location for a wedding. Weddings at Auckland Castle are entirely bespoke and we would be delighted to talk to you about your plans in more detail.
