The Castle is also available for private events, should you wish to discuss a private hire of the castle for everything from a small dinner party to a charity ball we shall be able to cater your needs. Auckland Castle is also a beautiful and dramatic location for a wedding. Weddings at Auckland Castle are entirely bespoke and we would be delighted to talk to you about your plans in more detail.

Covert Cocktail Club
Covert Cocktail Club
Multi-city
Once upon a time in 2016, Matt Levy, founder of Covert Cocktail Club, hosted a secret speakeasy as an intimate place for strangers to gather in his home. The only way to find out about it was via word of mouth. No address was given, the only clue being a sign placed in the window, “Cocktails Here”. A lot of people thought it was pretty cool, even before The New York Times wrote about it. But that was all pre-pandemic, and this is a new era. Liberated from the confines of a single location, Covert Cocktail Club now brings the speakeasy right to your door—be it at your home, office, bar mitzvah, dinner party, bachelor/ette party or anywhere you choose!
