Hire Powderham Castle

Powderham Castle is not just a historic landmark—it’s a lived-in, elegant family home. For over 600 years, the Courtenay family has welcomed guests and hosted unforgettable events within its storied walls. Today, Powderham is proud to be recognised as one of the UK’s leading event venues, offering timeless charm, exceptional spaces, and warm hospitality.

Set within a picturesque Deer Park and overlooking the tranquil Exe Estuary, the Castle is surrounded by ancient woodland and peaceful lakes. Fallow deer roam freely, while herons and egrets grace the landscape—creating a truly magical backdrop for any occasion.

Inside, the Castle’s majestic State Rooms continue to impress, just as they were designed to do. The light-filled Music Room, with its soaring domed ceiling and superb acoustics, is ideal for performances or elegant gatherings. The State Dining Room offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere—complete with a working fireplace and minstrel’s gallery often enjoyed by guests. The grand libraries offer even more stunning options, each with its own unique character.

Every event at Powderham is tailored to suit your vision. Whether you’re planning a private celebration, corporate function, or cultural event, our experienced team works closely with you to ensure every detail is just right. Together, we’ll create an event you’ll be proud of—and one your guests will never forget.
