Pendennis Castle

The impressive Cornish landmark combines a unique 450 year history with contemporary styling and modern facilities, to offer a memorable setting for smart drinks receptions, exclusive dinners, conferences and meetings.

Within the castle walls, three areas are available to choose from; the magnificent Tudor Castle Keep, the former Edwardian Royal Artillery Barracks or the expansive Castle grounds. All can be hired individually or together, depending on event requirements.
