House Parties and Events at the castle
Wedderburn is an exceptional venue for all kinds of events and celebrations, for example anniversaries, re-unions, meetings and corporate entertainment. The castle has a great sense of grandeur, although there is no sense of oppressive ostentation. The interior is perfect for entertaining or simply relaxing, and all rooms retain original fixtures and furnishings.
The castle is a private house, only available on an exclusive rental basis, and there will be no other paying guests here during your stay. It is not a hotel; there is no reception desk and the atmosphere is completely informal.
Drinks Bar
There are five reception rooms that are vast by modern standards, and these are all available for your use, if required. All of the reception rooms are on the first floor, and include the ballroom, dining room, drawing room, morning room, and gallery.
All the modern comforts that one would expect have been successfully incorporated without detracting from the character of the house and the relaxing atmosphere which visitors continually comment upon and enjoy so much. Twenty-two adults and up to six children can comfortably be accommodated in fourteen bedrooms. The maximum size of your party must not exceed 28 guests.
Entertainment and Activities
Any activity suitable for the castle or grounds can be arranged. Bands and pipers may be hired and the ballroom is an excellent place to hold a ceilidh, or any other dancing. There is a billiard room with full-size table, and table tennis. Outside, anything from an informal game of croquet on the lawn to clay pigeon shooting or a full Highland Games can be held.
Should you choose to venture away from Wedderburn, the Scottish Borders offer endless opportunity for walking, cycling and historic sights. Wedderburn is also within easy reach of many excellent golf courses (Duns course is only 2 miles away), historic towns, country houses and castles. In season, excellent shooting and fishing is available locally by arrangement.
