The Priests House Full Description
Holding your day in one of the most magical wedding venues in Yorkshire can only add to the occasion.
With the magnificent backdrop of the 13th century Barden Tower, this has to be one of the most historic of Yorkshire civil wedding venues. Steeped in romanticism and charm, this totally unique venue is surrounded by some of the best landscape the Yorkshire Dales can offer. The photo opportunities are endless, with superb backdrops of the ruin of the once magnificent tower, the Priests House itself, the orchard, the woods and the valley stretching into the distance. The scenery and mystique of the place is dramatic whatever the season, especially the winter months with the dark nights actually complementing the authenticity of the medieval surroundings.
The charming medieval Priests House is able to offer small and intimate weddings in the House ranging from just yourselves or up to 30 guests. With open fires, real oak beams it oozes history and provides a fabulously intimate setting for your wedding breakfast.
The Old Chapel beneath the House was renovated on June 2016 and now provides a superb venue for civil ceremonies (up to 90) and dining and evening reception up to 70. With a baby grand piano you can have some gentle background accompaniment for the meal followed by a DJ or other entertainment later in the evening.

I'd like to welcome you to The Priests House. I am so proud of this venue and the investment we have made in ensuring the grade 1 building retains its medieval ambience whilst providing as many modern facilities as we can. Whether you have a small, intimate occasion in the House or a full day and evening reception in the Chapel we know you will have a great day. Only ever undertaking one event on any day and being a family run business you will have our undivided attention throughout.
