Adam’s mastery of form in his radical adaptation of this
Castle (originally dating from 1590) has created a grand,
impossibly romantic backdrop for modern events. Set in nearly
600 acres of beautiful countryside with woodland walks,
inviting sandy beaches, terraced gardens and charming follies,
this is a unique and inspirational setting for entertaining
guests.
Grand and prestigious or intimate and
relaxed - the options at Culzean are endless.
The breathtakingly beautiful red
Circular Saloon, with views towards the Isle of Arran, can
seat 70 guests for a ceremony or concert, followed by dinner
in the surprisingly intimate State Dining Room. For a larger
event, the Home Farm Restaurant can accommodate up to 100
guests for a banquet and ceilidh. This air of exclusivity
extends to the six-bedroomed Eisenhower Apartment on the top
floor of the Castle which, with its roaring log fire, can
accommodate up to twelve guests in a private country house
style and is the perfect location for a honeymoon or luxury
executive retreat.

WEDDING TARIFF 2007 &
2008
Robert Adam’s magnificent cliff-top
castle was built for David Kennedy, the 10th Earl of
Cassillis, to entertain his friends in style. Today Culzean
can be yours for a summer’s evening, to entertain your friends
in 18th-century elegance with superb views across the sea to
the Island of Arran.
From April to October the Castle is
available for private hire from 4.30 pm onwards. In winter, it
can be available for functions throughout the day.
Some rooms in the Castle and other
buildings around Culzean’s beautiful grounds can be hired at
any time for a more self-contained event and at a more modest
fee than that for the whole Castle. Our charges reflect the
Trust’s primary purpose of conserving Culzean for people’s
enjoyment, now and into the future.
