Discover The Tithe Barn at Bolton Abbey: Your Dream Yorkshire Wedding Venue


If you envision a wedding that blends historic charm with modern flair, look no further than The Tithe Barn at Bolton Abbey. Nestled in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, this 16th-century Grade II* listed barn offers a romantic backdrop for couples seeking a rustic and luxurious day. It could be the perfect fit for your big Yorkshire wedding day!


Why You’ll Fall in Love With The Tithe Barn

It was built as part of the Duke of Devonshire’s Bolton Abbey estate, The Tithe Barn has been meticulously restored to balance its medieval roots with contemporary comforts. Think weathered stone walls, fairy-lit oak beams, and panoramic views of the Bolton Abbey Priory ruins—a scene straight out of a Brontë novel 8. The venue’s terrace, dotted with fire pits and seating, invites guests to sip post-ceremony cocktails while soaking in the Yorkshire countryside.


  1. Flexible Capacities for Every Moment
    Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a lively party, the barn adapts seamlessly:
    • Ceremonies: Up to 200 guests for a seated civil ceremony.
    • Receptions: 300 guests for dancing and evening celebrations.
    • Feasts: Flame-grilled dishes prepared in the open kitchen, featuring Cripps & Co.’s legendary indoor BBQ and French rotisseries.
  2. A Feast for the Senses
    Foodies rejoice! The in-house catering team specializes in “simple, fresh, and generous” menus. Imagine smoky grilled meats, wood-fired pizzas mid-dance party, and decadent desserts—all served against the backdrop of clinking wine glasses and a Funktion-One sound system.
  3. All-Night Celebrations
    With a late license until 1 am, your wedding can transition from heartfelt vows to a full-blown dance marathon. One couple raved about their DJ keeping the party alive with “disco, soul, and rap” while chefs fired up midnight snacks.
