Stunning fashion shoot with the Herald Magazine

Wedding fever is hitting the Castle

The days are getting longer and even slightly warmer which means the summer wedding season is just around the corner! The Carlowrie team are busily preparing the Castle for the time ahead, while our Head Gardener and our Academy students are making sure the grounds look beautiful.

We have lots of couples who will be having their special day with us over the summer and we look forward to making sure their wedding is all they could hope for. Next summer is looking busy as well and into 2017 too.

We still have some availability for later in the year, so do get in touch with our Weddings Manager, Jen Brown.

Our first charity Ball for RESTART

On the 14th March we hosted RESTART’s inaugural Ball at the Castle. This special event was attended by over 400 people and was hosted by Rory Bremner.

It was a wonderful night with live entertainment from the Dunwells and fine dining from Andrew Hamer and his award winning team from Wilde Thyme.

Through support of the event and the generosity of our guests on the night, RESTART managed to raise over £40,000 for the charity. This equates to over 25% of RESTART’s current annual running costs for work in Edinburgh and London, which is fantastic.

Next year’s ball will be on Saturday 26th March 2016. For further information please email events@restartlives.org

Carlowrie Castle operates as a social enterprise and year end profits are donated to RESTART.

How big can we go?

We are in the midst of planning for a Charity Ball for 400 guests in March of this year. We like challenges like this and we are sure it will not be long until we are doing even bigger events. Our ethos is very much about creating bespoke events. We will work with to make your vision a reality, no matter how big or small the event.

The Charity Ball is in aid of RESTART, a charity that offers safe spaces for the homeless, the long term unemployed and the lonely to restart life through education, housing, employability programmes and emergency aid. The event promises to be an exceptional night of entertainment and music with some of Scotland’s finest dining delivered by Andrew Hamer and his award winning team from Wild Thyme.
