Standing majestically over the fishing village of Gorey, Mont Orgueil provides a dramatic backdrop to any event. Built in the 13th century to protect the Island against the French, this jewel in Jersey's crown is one of the best-preserved castles in Britain and one of the most photographed sites in the Island.
The Medieval Great Hall
Standing high up in the heart of the building, this hall is the oldest part of the medieval castle and is believed to have been the site of grand celebrations and ceremonies. With a beaten earth floor, vaulted roof and arched windows looking down to the sea and across to the coast of France, it offers an impressive location for dinners, drinks parties and presentations.

The Grand Battery
This was originally a 16th century gun battery and is now a sweeping lawned platform that dominates the North Eastern part of the castle, and offers superb views of Jersey’s east coast and across the sea to France. It is the perfect location for a summer’s evening drinks function before either entering the castle for dinner or going back down to the lower ward for a function in a marquee.

The Herb Garden
This is a recreation of a 17th century formal garden. It is an idyllic sheltered spot and excellent for pre-dinner drinks with exceptional, uninterrupted views out to sea.
