CASTLE Park House in Frodsham has been granted a licence to host civil ceremonies.

The master room of the Edwardian manor house, managed by Vale Royal Borough Council, will be the venue for the ceremonies.

Wedding parties will use the parkland grounds of Castle Park for photographs to mark the occasion.

Cllr John Grimshaw, said: 'This is the first of the council's facilities in Vale Royal to be granted a licence for civil ceremonies, so we are delighted.

'Castle Park House is such a splendid location we thought it would be a shame not to let people enjoy it on their happy day.'
