Accessibility

Where possible we make provisions to ensure the site is accessible for wheelchair, mobility scooter and buggy users. We have a number of wheelchair and buggy access points and dedicated parking areas for blue badge holders. Please note car parks and some paths within the grounds are gravel therefore wheelchairs and pushchairs may find it difficult. If you require additional assistance, please ask a member of staff. Disabled toilets are located in the Walled Garden and Tea Room.

There is level and step-free access to most outdoor areas and indoor venues. However should you need any further assistance, please ask a member of staff. Due to the historic nature of our site some areas within the Walled Garden and the Woodland Walk feature uneven terrain therefore suitable footwear should be worn.

Make your wedding day truly unforgettable at Glenarm Castle Estate, where historic surroundings, breath-taking landscapes and timeless romance come together.

For a truly unique celebration, The Sheddings offers an idyllic wedding setting in the heart of the Glenarm Castle Estate. Surrounded by 1,500 acres of ancient woodland and with the Glenarm River flowing alongside the venue, couples can exchange vows in the dedicated ceremony space with the beautiful Glens of Antrim providing a spectacular backdrop. The venue’s custom-built stretch marquee comfortably accommodates up to 200 guests for a wedding breakfast, while offering an equally intimate setting for smaller celebrations. Following the ceremony, guests can enjoy drinks on the lawn beneath a covered stretch canopy before moving into the marquee for dining and dancing. With its rustic River Lodge, dedicated dance floor, fully licensed bar and opportunities to personalise the space, The Sheddings offers everything needed to create a wedding that is uniquely your own.

For couples seeking a more intimate and historic celebration, Glenarm Castle offers the opportunity to host your wedding ceremony for up to 80 guests. Overseen by the Castle Butler, the Castle provides an elegant and deeply personal setting, with both religious and civil ceremonies available. The surrounding Estate and renowned Walled Garden also provide an exceptional backdrop for wedding photographs, allowing couples to capture their special moments amongst the seasonal blooms, historic walls and beautiful landscapes.

Whether you choose the romance and grandeur of Glenarm Castle or the relaxed, riverside atmosphere of The Sheddings, Glenarm Castle Estate offers a truly memorable setting in which to begin your married life.
