Courtesy of The Kentucky Castle Situated on 55 acres, The Kentucky Castle also makes for an amazing wedding venue or spot to host a private or corporate event. For smaller events, you can book event space in the bourbon hall, dining room, or music room. Larger groups of 75-150 can book the ballroom, and the rooftop hosts as many as 350 guests or 250 for a seated dinner. If it's just you and your gals for a long weekend, be sure to spend sometime in the spa "cottage"—you can't beat the zen views of a horse farm—for treatments like crytotherapy (cold therapy), massages, and facials. Throughout the year, The Kentucky Castle puts on a wide range of events, ranging from salsa dancing lessons as part of a 1920s-themed Havana night complete with Cuban appetizers and a dance performance put on by Lexington's Salsa Center Dance Studio, to an interactive mystery dinner theatre performance. The castle also offers guided tours with the option to book lunch with your tour—learn more here and see a full list of events here.
