Polhawn Fort Full Description
The Guardian of Whitsand Bay since 1867, Polhawn Fort is a unique, exclusive use wedding venue on the Cornish coast. The experienced team of wedding professionals at Polhawn Fort are dedicated to helping you create the wedding you have always dreamed about. Your guests will enjoy the stunning, secluded location complete with private access beach. Offering extended stays and luxurious accommodation you have the choice to do as much or as little as you choose. Actually, choice is what we do best. With a handpicked list of trusted suppliers, curated with quality and service in mind, you will be able to bring your ideas to life! Flexible spaces mean you can plan your wedding to be as relaxed and simple or as formal as you can imagine. The Grand Hall is perfect for everything from a sublime indoor ceremony to a riotous, lively party! The summerhouse overlooking the Bay stands ready for enchanted outside ceremonies but can also be transformed into a beach hut bar or chill-out zone! Not to mention the beach for cricket, bonfires and water sports. New for 2022 is the use of the Mediterranean inspired Roof Garden Terrace Marquee. Situated on the top of the Fort where your guests can enjoy Al Fresco dining with sweeping views of the Bay from the end of the Terrace. You are free to choose how to use the space which lends itself to a casual barbecue or chilled out drinks reception. Just add some festoon lighting to encourage your guests to appreciate the sunsets from the roof or your very own fireworks display from the neighbouring farm. To add to the enjoyment of the extensive grounds, Polhawn provide a range of garden games. A bit of healthy competition will develop between your family and friends as they challenge each other to Croquet, Giant Jenga, Hoop toss, Boules and more! Spectators can enjoy the sport from our new folding lawn chairs and side tables. Polhawn Fort has viewing days every Monday and Friday afternoon, including Bank Holidays.

Personal Message from the Manager

Name of Wedding Contact: James
Polhawn Fort is a one-off, unique kind of place. It stands alone, quite literally. So if you’re looking for a coastal wedding venue to make your own, you’ve probably found it. Imagine a home-from-home vibe and you’re halfway there (if ‘home’ happens to be a Napoleonic fort, complete with drawbridge)! We welcome you to come and visit us on any Mondays and Fridays between 1.30pm and 3.30pm. Contact the team to book your viewing https://www.polhawnfort.com/arrange-a-viewing/. See you soon. James

It’s a truly stunning and beautiful venue.
Truly beautiful venue, stood way above any of our other options. Our dream wedding wouldn’t have been what it was without the Fort and the staff too.

Polhawn Fort is absolutely stunning
We chose Polhawn Fort because it is an absolutely stunning venue and it is really, really special. You can't appreciate the amazing atmosphere so much in pictures, but as soon as you arrive in the wonderful setting with the fort overlooking the ocean you start to understand. You then enter the fort and its just amazing, its such a romantic and atmospheric place and we fell in love with it straight away. I would say to people thinking of visiting definitely go view the Fort you will not regret it

A dream come true
What can I say other than wow! We fell in love with this venue from the start but every visit it got more magical and the wedding day was truly out of a fairytale. James was incredible helping us set up and answering all of the little detail questions that came to mind. It was a dream come true location and we did not stop hearing how incredible the venue was from all our guests. I felt so honoured to make our special day our own by having the freedom to bring in our own suppliers and decoration

Thank you for an amazing weekend
It is a beautiful location, the team were incredibly relaxed and helpful and we could stay there for the whole weekend with all our friends and family. Thank you for an amazing weekend, especially to James who couldn't haven been more helpful or relaxed with us. We absolutely loved the whole weekend and we would do it over a hundred time if we could. Thank you!
