Polhawn Fort is a historic wedding venue situated in the southeast corner of Cornwall in Rame, England. Tucked away along the western tip of the Rame Peninsula, this breathtaking Napoleonic fort looks out over a dramatic landscape. Below it, waves crash against the rugged and rocky Cornish coastline, reaching all the way to the Lizard Peninsula. Around the estate, verdant lawns filled with wildflowers blanket the grounds. In this secluded and sophisticated venue, couples are invited to celebrate their momentous occasion.
Facilities and Capacity
Polhawn Fort is reached by a drawbridge, which only adds to its ancient yet timeless feel. Once you cross the drawbridge, you can crest the spiral staircase to the Grand Napoleonic Hall. This hall features vaulted ceilings, stunning views of the Peninsula, and seating for up to 100 people. You can host your ceremony here, or in the Emperor's Room, which is best for intimate celebrations of 30 people. You also have the option of dining al fresco in The Summer House, where you will enjoy the beautiful seascape and calls of the seabirds. If you prefer your wedding breakfast indoors, you will be serenaded by the crackling of fire logs and bathed in warm candlelight.

Reviews for Polhawn Fort
The most beautiful wedding venue in the world, ever.
When we viewed Polhawn Fort 2 years ago it took our breath away, it was the first venue we viewed and we booked in that day, absolutely stunning. All our guests were wowed too and kept saying to us we’ve won the wedding of the year by our venue alone!
On top of that, James and the team were extremely helpful and went above and beyond with any query we had, and always got back to us so quickly! They were on hand to help with all our vendors and left us all to it the following day so we had the place to ourselves for a little BBQ after party, (you have the venue for the whole weekend, Friday-Monday which I thought was an absolute bargain and meant your day wasn’t over so quickly!).
You also have full access to a private beach and plenty of parking for all guests. The bedrooms are decorated so beautifully and the beds are comfy!
We loved that there is no corkage so we could bring as much booze as we liked, and there are 2 commercial fridges which is great, the caterers had one and we had the other for all the BBQ food which was delivered by Tesco the day we arrived.
I’m so glad we had our wedding at Polhawn Fort, it couldn’t have been more beautiful and we can’t wait to visit next year to relive our weekend again. Thank you so much, it was an extremely special day.
The perfect wedding venue
Polhawn Fort was actually the first venue we viewed, and we booked it on the spot—it was just that perfect. One of the key reasons we chose it was the extended hire time of three days, allowing us to fully enjoy the space and spend quality time with our families. Another major plus is the flexibility with suppliers; we weren’t tied to specific vendors, which gave us the freedom to personalise every aspect of the wedding. Of course, this meant a bit more work in selecting suppliers, but we had incredible support from Gemma, a coordinator recommended by the fort. She was a lifesaver and provided brilliant suggestions to make the process seamless.
On the day, everything ran flawlessly. The staff were exceptional—professional, helpful, and so attentive. They clearly know exactly what they’re doing and ensured that every detail was perfect, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy ourselves.
If you’re looking for a coastal venue with charm, flexibility, and an experienced team, Polhawn Fort is absolutely the place to go. We’ll cherish our time there forever!
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. The set up and check out was run smoothly and really helped relived some stress of the day. He also ensured all of the suppliers where all sorted and assisted with the running of the day. This 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 abd decorations. It really did have a personal touch. This day will be remembered by my new husband and I for the rest of our life's and polhawn fort will be the highest recommendation from us to all couples considering it for their day. Thankyou again for making our dream day come true.
Absolutely stunning venue

Thank you for giving us the wedding of our dreams.
