Priodas yn Llys Tretŵr/Wedding at Tretower Court

Religious wedding ceremonies cannot be held at any Cadw properties because they are scheduled ancient monuments which cannot be consecrated. However, Castell Coch, Tretower Court and Castle, and Plas Mawr are licenced for civil ceremonies, sites may be hired for a wedding blessing or for photographs.

The construction and use of a marquee that is not water weighted is often not allowed at any site, except in exceptional circumstances. Please have a look at the information on ground pegs on the site specific pages to see if the construction of marquees is potentially feasible at the site.
