About East Riddlesden Hall
East Riddlesden Hall is a breathtaking, historic barn wedding venue nestled in the heart of West Yorkshire. Step back in time and celebrate amidst the charm of a 17th-century manor house, surrounded by beautifully manicured formal gardens, all lovingly maintained by the National Trust. With its rich history and romantic atmosphere, this enchanting venue offers the ideal backdrop for a picture-perfect wedding.
We work closely with our couples to create your dream wedding with us. Being a part of the National Trust means your wedding goes towards the conservation of our historic properties and maintaining the gardens.
The venue is fully licensed for ceremonies in its charming rustic Airedale Barn and can seat up to 160 guests for your ceremony and wedding breakfast. The venue is partnered with some of Yorkshire’s finest caterers, allowing you to create a menu that fits your style. The Barn has a fully stocked and licenced bar ready to keep the drinks flowing all night long. The Airedale Barn can accommodate up to 250 standing guests for an evening celebration. With modern touches, underfloor heating, and a sea of twinkling fairy lights, and tables and chairs included in the hire costs, the barn offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and a magical atmosphere for dancing the night away.
For a more natural ceremony setting, the venue’s formal gardens are also licensed for outdoor ceremonies, offering a beautiful space for exchanging vows beneath the sky. If you choose this option the barn will still be available to you as a wet weather option and as an evening reception space, they’ve got you covered! There are additional beautiful garden spaces you can access as photo opportunities with your photographer.
If you're looking for something more intimate, The Great Hall within the historic house is also fully licenced and offers a cosy setting, seating up to 30 guests in front of its impressive stone fireplace, ideal for a smaller ceremony full of warmth and character.
Wander round our stunning formal gardens or have a glass of bubbly and dance the night away. We will always personalise your wedding to suit you and we are there every step of the day as a point of contact to help make the whole process as stress free as possible.
