Castle Hotel Event Package Combines Retro and Medieval

Enjoy a retro experience in arguably the most authentic fortified medieval castle hotel in England, by indulging in a Cheese, Wine and More accommodation package at Langley Castle Hotel in Northumberland, on Friday May 3.

For a cost starting at £399 per couple (in Castle View), guests can enjoy not just the mesmerising Langley Castle overnight stay experience but also a three-course dinner. Each course will be served with an expertly paired wine, before a sumptuous and decadent cheese board is presented at the table, accompanied by a glass of dessert wine.  

Local cheeses have been hand-picked from the Northumberland Cheese Co. and all will be served in the atmospheric, candle-lit 2AA Rosette dining room.

Guests can either book to stay inside a wow-factor castle room, complete with four-poster or period bed and other features ranging from jacuzzi and statement bathroom to raised window seat set into the seven-foot-thick walls, or stay in a room in the grounds.  There, the Castle View accommodation has a more contemporary feel and the advantage of guests seeing a view of the 1350 castle when they fling back the curtains.

Whichever they choose, the Cheese, Wine and More event will see guests treated to a glorious Northumberland cooked breakfast the following day. They need have no fear about knocking up calories with this feast of locally sourced delights, however. These can be walked off by joining the daily Battlements Tour and learning more about the rich history of the medieval gem that is Langley Castle, by climbing to its very top and gazing over towards Hadrian’s Wall.

There are also six-acres of grounds – lawned and wooded – to explore and plenty of walking opportunities on Hadrian’s Wall. Otherwise, a gentle stroll around nearby medieval Hexham might be just the ticket.

Guests on this package will also depart with a Langley Castle goody bag, containing mini Prosecco, a bottle of Langley beer, exclusive discount vouchers and the castle’s very own adorable mascot and star of children’s stories and podcast, Langley Bear.

To book the full Cheese, Wine and More package, call 01434 68888.

It is one of the most exquisite wedding venues in the north and also offers a wide range of options when it comes to exclusive use, with the castle being available for weddings, family celebrations, Bar Mitzvahs and Bat Mitzvahs, D&D-style events and a wide variety of corporate functions.
