The Yorke Arms

The Yorke Arms is an exclusive-use venue in Ramsgill-in-Nidderdale, set in an 18th-century country house in the Yorkshire Dales. Organisers can hire the whole property for intimate weddings, private celebrations and corporate gatherings, giving their guests a relaxed country setting and the privacy of having the house to themselves.

The venue offers a licensed space for wedding ceremonies, with its countryside surroundings and historic interiors providing a distinctive backdrop for the day. Its events team can help couples shape the occasion, while the kitchen prepares menus to suit the celebration. Options described by the venue include multi-course wedding breakfasts, buffets and barbecues, with food tailored to the hosts' preferences and guests' dietary needs. The house also suits birthdays, anniversaries and other milestone events, with spaces that can be arranged for dining, speeches or dancing.

For business organisers, The Yorke Arms offers an alternative to a conventional meeting room for meetings, retreats, product launches and team gatherings. The setting includes flexible indoor spaces, Wi-Fi and office facilities, with opportunities to combine work sessions with meals and overnight stays. The events team can assist with planning and practical details, and the surrounding countryside offers space for walks and group activities.

The property has 17 individually styled double rooms, a single room and family-friendly courtyard rooms, with accommodation for up to 30 guests. Exclusive hire makes it possible for an event to extend into an overnight stay, with shared dining and time together in the house. The venue's combination of private event space, on-site hospitality and guest accommodation is particularly suited to smaller gatherings where organisers want the group to stay in one place.
