Hertford Castle

Hertford Castle, a Grade 1 listed building originally built on the site of a Norman Castle. Beautifully situated in the heart of Hertford, yet hidden from the hustle and bustle of town life by the 12thC flint and stone curtain wall.

The Town Council offices are at The Castle and some of the rooms are hired out for weddings, conferences or special events.

Hertford Castle provides a unique venue amidst a picturesque and historic setting alongside the River Lea. It is an ideal opportunity to hold your seminar or meeting in the atmosphere of peace and tranquillity, conducive to the success of any meeting or training programme.

Comfortable meeting rooms, adaptable and tailored to your needs all with natural daylight. Facilities designed for flexibility and variety, readily adapted to suit your specific requirements.

This year the Downshire Suite has been redecorated and the Old Conservatory has undergone major repairs, improving the quality of this special venue.
