Events
Hertford Castle hosts regular events and open days throughout the year.
All of the events at Hertford Castle are organised by Hertford Town Council.
Location
Hertford Castle Gatehouse is set in the heart of Hertford surrounded by beautiful, meticulously cared for grounds which provide a stunning backdrop for your wedding photography. In such a wonderful tranquil environment it’s hard to believe you are only 40 minutes from the centre of London.
If you have guests coming from afar we are 30 minutes from Luton airport and less than 15 minutes walk from both of Hertford’s train stations. Although we do not have on site accommodation, we are minutes away from the town centre where you will find many hotels, restaurants and bars.
