About This Venue

Polhawn Fort is a spectacular Victorian military fortress perched dramatically on the cliffs of Whitsand Bay in Cornwall. Built in the 1860s as part of the Western defenses, this unique circular fort has been lovingly restored to create one of Cornwall's most distinctive wedding and event venues. The fort offers breathtaking 360-degree views across the English Channel and Cornish coastline, providing an unforgettable backdrop for celebrations. With its historic battlements, restored interiors, and dramatic cliff-top location, Polhawn Fort combines military heritage with modern amenities to create truly memorable events for up to 200 guests.
