Private
Rentals

The unique ambiance of Hammond Castle, so quaintly nestled on Gloucester's rocky Atlantic coast, is the perfect setting for that memorable event.

As you are renting a fully functioning museum with regularly scheduled hours and events, rentals may begin no earlier than 6:00 p.m. and end no later than 11:00 p.m., without prior arrangement.  Areas comprising the interior rental include the great hall, Renaissance dining room, the courtyard, and the ocean-side lawn.  The rental fee includes one-half hour of rehearsal time if a wedding ceremony is scheduled at the Museum.  It also includes two hours in which to set up, and one-half hour to break down the event.

 A separate security deposit is required one month before the function.  This is held in escrow and reimbursed within 10 business days after the rental if no loss, additional costs, or damage to the grounds or equipment in incurred by Hammond Castle Museum.  (Note:  Hammond Castle contains irreplaceable artifacts in its collection and on display.  When renting the facilities clients are required to ensure appropriate precautions including the conduct of their guests.)                             

To reserve a date, our clients must sign a rental contract and send the Museum a non-refundable deposit of $500.00.  The balance must be paid one month prior to the function and should be made payable to Hammond Castle Museum, Inc.
