The Castle Hotel in Tamworth has shut down after entering liquidation, leaving couples with upcoming bookings in distress and seeking alternatives for their events.
Tamworth: A well-known wedding venue, The Castle Hotel, has suddenly closed its doors. The owners, The Rest House Limited, entered into liquidation, leaving many couples in a tough spot.
This historic hotel, located near Tamworth Castle, announced its closure on Facebook. The post has since been deleted, but it confirmed the venue’s immediate shutdown.
Just weeks ago, the hotel was promoting a spring wedding fair. Now, all related posts have vanished from their social media.
Joint liquidators Richard Tonks and Kim Richards from BK Plus confirmed the closure. They stated the business had been struggling and faced a winding-up petition from HMRC.
Kim Richards mentioned that there was no choice but to close the venue right away. She emphasized that no weddings or events could take place in the near future.
Couples with upcoming bookings are understandably worried. The liquidators acknowledged the distress this news may cause and are working to protect the company’s assets.
They advised anyone affected to register as a creditor by emailing their claims. This includes details about their events and proof of payment.
For those who paid by credit card, contacting the card provider for a chargeback is recommended. If you have wedding insurance, reach out to your provider to start a claim.
The venue is no longer operational, and no phone support is available. All inquiries must go through the provided email address.
It’s crucial for those impacted to act quickly and explore their options with banks, insurance providers, and alternative venues.
